Stirchley, Telford, St James

Inscriptions

3 bells, tenor 3-3-10 in D               Anti-clockwise                       SJ 700067

The building was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust in 2006 

The Treble was cast in 1410 by John de Colsale, (perhaps Cossall, near Nottingham), the second by Thomas Clibury II of Wellington in 1664 and the Tenor by Henry Oldfield II of Nottingham in 1594. The bells all retain their canons and were rehung in 2007 with new fittings in the wooden frame. The bells are rung from a gallery which is open to the nave. There is limited parking outside the church gate, in a lane marked 'Stirchley Spiritualist Church.'

The nave is full of 18th century box pews and the chancel arch is of interest.
