- Stirchley, Shropshire (St James' Church)
This intriguing church is set in a quiet location only a mile away from central Telford. The chancel is made from local sandstone and contains an eye-catching ornate arch.
This and the small, round windows date from the 12th-century. The nave and tower are 18th-century brick additions. Inside are box-pews, galleries and an impressive pulpit with sounding board. Surrounding the church, the graveyard has some interesting headstones from the 18th century and later.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

I visited this church today! Found it a very interesting contrast between 2 eras for church building. The key holder next door was also very friendly and helpful.
