St James' Church is the parish church of Grewelthorpe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The church was built between 1846 and 1848, to a simple decorated gothic design by Adolphus Henry Cates.[1] In 1851, it was recorded as having space for 250 worshippers, with 80 regularly attending on Sundays.[2] The church was grade II listed in 1987.[3]
The church is built of stone with a Welsh slate roof. It consists of a nave, a north aisle, a south porch, and a chancel with a vestry. On the west gable is a gabled bellcote, containing a bell in a chamfered pointed arched opening. Several of the windows have stained glass, designed by Forrest and Son.[3][4]
