St James' Church is in the Daisy Hill district of Westhoughton, in the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, Greater Manchester, England.

[3] The church was built between 1879 and 1881, and was designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin.

Its cost of £6,500 (equivalent to £830,000 in 2023)[4] was met by two sisters, Mrs Makant and Miss Haddock.

The authors of the Buildings of England series state that the church is "a masterly performance for relatively little cash".

[5] Building work began on 24 February 1879, when the first sod was turned by Miss Haddock, and the foundation stone was laid by Mrs Makant.

The lowest stage contains an entrance with a pointed arch, and round-headed windows.

In the east window is stained glass made by Morris & Co., depicting the Epiphany.
