Church of St James

St James' Church is an 18th-century chapel situated in the grounds of Packington Hall, near Meriden, Warwickshire. It is a Grade I listed building.

The church was built in 1789 to a design by Italian architect Joseph Bonomi for the 4th Earl of Aylesford as a private family chapel. It is said to commemorate the recovery of George III from insanity and houses one of the oldest sanctus bells in Warwickshire.

It replaced the old Great Packington parish church. In 1787 it was found that the steeple and building of the old church were both in such a bad condition that it was demolished. During the construction of St James' Church baptisms and marriages were held at St Bartholomew’s Church in the neighbouring parish of Little Packington.
