The ancient parish church of St James, North Cray has been here as a focal point for the community through many lifetimes. We are facing a number of significant challenges with the church building, the most pressing of these are our lovely church spire and the church roof. If you value your parish church, and the part it plays in your community, please do consider making a donation to this work.
