St James' Church is in the Poolstock district of Wigan, Greater Manchester, England.

[3] It was the centrepiece of a workers' industrial village, and was paid for by Nathaniel Eckersley, a local colliery proprietor, MP for Wigan, and member of a mill-owning family.

[6] In 1970 the neighbouring Church of St Thomas closed, and the two parishes merged.

In the bottom stage is a west arched doorway containing double doors, over which is a four-light window.

At the summit is a frieze decorated with ball flowers under a pierced parapet with crocketted pinnacles.

The parapets of the naves and aisles are battlemented, with pierced triangular upstands between the bays.

The south chapel contains furnishings moved from St Thomas' Church.
