St James the Great, Snitterfield

Inside the Church

These two carvings on the choir stalls, along with the mermaids below, are among the few original pieces remaining from mediaeval times. There are a number of replacement modern carvings of other saints and apostles which are easy to identify by their undamaged state!

Sadly there is little to link the Church with its patron saint - James the Great, or with the pilgrimage to Compostela. I did however spot a small 'scallop shell' waymarker glued on a radiator at the back of the church!
