Summary Description

The Parish of St James the Great, Chapelthorpe is situated about four miles south-west of the Cathedral City of Wakefield. The foundation of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St James' dates from 1843 when it became a Parish in its own right, a factor necessitated by the growth of the coal and fireclay industries in the district. In June 1951, the interior of the Church was totally gutted by fire. Within 13 months of the fire however, the building had been re-furbished and re-Consecrated in its present form.
