St James' Church is in the village of Gawsworth, Cheshire, England, and is sited near Gawsworth Hall. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.[1] It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Macclesfield.[2] Clifton-Taylor includes it in his list of 'best' English parish churches.[3] The authors of the Buildings of England series describe the church as being "pretty, but odd".[4]
