St James Church, Dunwich

The parish church of St James (Grade 2 listed) stands at the western end of St James street in Dunwich, Suffolk. It was originally built in the classical style in 1832 to replace All Saints which was closed in the late 1750s (and later collapsed over the eroding cliff); it was "Gothicised " in 1881. The original brick walls were clad in flint; the windows reshaped and the chancel added. The present tower replaced the cupola of the 1830 building.

 

The leper hospital chapel ruins can be found in the graveyard of the church.
