St. James' Church, Thornes, was the last of the three so called 'Million' churches to be built. The Million Fund was established after the Battle of Waterloo as a thanksgiving offering, and used to build churches where needed.
Started in 1829, with a grant of £1000 from the fund, St James' Church was consecrated in 1831.
