About the St James' Weybridge Church Building
For more than 800 years a church has stood on
the site of St James'. The church is not only an important part of
Weybridge's architectural heritage, but also a beautiful landmark
that gives Weybridge its unique character.
 Although
the building of St. James’ was completed only in 1848, it replaced
the Church of St. Nicholas , which had served the people of
Weybridge for many hundreds of years.
Since its consecration in 1848, St James’
has been enlarged twice. The chancel was enlarged in 1889 and, soon
after, the outer south aisle was added. The chancel arch, originally
very little higher than the arches in the nave, has also been
heightened by ten feet, thereby greatly enhancing the proportions of
the building. |
