Alveston - St James
The church of St James at Alveston was built in 1839 to the designs of
W.Walker to replace the much smaller ancient building at the other end of the
village (of which only the chancel now survives).
The interior is spacious under a wide hammerbeam roof and dominated by some
fine frnishings, particularly the brightly coloured Arts & Crafts
rood-screen and panelled pulpit, presumably the work of Temple Moore who was
responsible for the nearby vicarage c1908.
There is stained glas by Worcestershire architect Frederick Preedy in the 5
lancets of the east window and the small rosette in the west tower.
