St James's is a friendly Anglican church in Gretton, Northamptonshire, sharing community, clergy and events with St John's, Corby.  

The church and church yard are open everyday from 8am, but locked from 5pm (4 pm in winter) except for services and special events.

Our services are relaxed and welcoming: 

   Sunday services at 9am, 

           Holy Communion second, third and fourth Sundays of the month, 

           Family services first Sunday of the month, 

           Evensong third Sunday at 6pm,

   Friday Morning prayers, first Friday of month at 10.15am (before Forget-Me-Not Cafe)

   Wednesday Morning Holy Communion at 10am.

But you don't have to come to a service - everyone is welcome to visit the church and churchyard just to walk, look around, reflect and pray.
