St. James the Less Church, Fradswell, Staffordshire.

The small church of St James the Less is a Grade II listed building with a chancel arch dating back to the thirteenth century. The chancel survives, but the main part of the church was rebuilt in 1764 and later enlarged in 1852. It is situated in the fairly isolated village of Fradswell, where agriculture and a strong connection with the land still plays a major role in the life of those living here. Think 'Far From the Madding Crowd'.
Our services are lay led by a local farmer on the 1st Sunday of every month at 10am, as those with cows to milk and livestock to tend find a regular time and date more convenient. Each service is followed by delicious home-made refreshments kindly donated by a member of our community. In addition, we host the Benefice 'Worship Together' Holy Communion Service every 5th month.
Our worship follows a Celtic theme and the influences of the changing seasons. Our music is full of exuberance and life and never fails to raise even the lowest of spirits; it stems from an older more traditional style which is sometimes referred to as the music the church lost.
Our worship style very much reflects our rural community; our Plough Sunday service, Mothering Sunday Service, Easter Day Dawn Service, Lambing Sunday and Harvest Festival are just a few examples.
Due to our remote location and style, Fradswell is unique within the Benefice. We are a rural community, once again becoming aware of itself; becoming aware of its spiritual identity and how important that is.
We look forward to welcoming absolutely everyone.....and their dog!
