Welcome to St. James Church, Smisby. Use the Menu above for more information about the Church.
Welcome to the web pages for our ancient village church.
St James Church has stood on the hill above the village of Smisby for more than 950 years. There are four churches in the Benefice we belong to – Melbourne, Smisby, Stanton by Bridge, and Ticknall.
The parish is currently in vacancy, though hoping to appoint a new Incumbent soon; but the ministry team of Clergy and Readers have maintained the pattern of regular worship in all the churches.

The Fallen from Smisby
Thanks to more research by Garry Margerrison we now have finally identified the details for all of the fallen that we remember at Smisby. We now have not just their rank and service numbers but where they died and where they are buried including those from WW2 on who we previously had no information.
