About this place
St James is the parish church on Church Avenue in Clapham, North Yorkshire. Its churchyard offers a way to explore village history: the church's own page links to a free Churchyard Trail booklet produced by the Clapham Village History Project in 2024. The booklet introduces graves and memorials for visitors interested in local history or family research.
Follow the Churchyard Trail link on the parish page to obtain the original guide. Check that page's weekly newsletter and service information for current arrangements, and contact the church if you need to confirm interior access or particular facilities. Leave space for worship and use the churchyard respectfully when visiting.
