St James' Church is the parish church of Boroughbridge, a town in North Yorkshire, in England.
The original St James' Church was a medieval
Grade II listed in 1984.[2]
The church is built of
string courses, a west window with a pointed arch and hood mould, lancet windows and clock faces in the middle stage, two-light bell openings with hood moulds, and an embattled parapet.[2][3]

The east window has four lights, and stained glass by William Wailes. Re-set into the internal walls are late Norman architectural fragments.[2] They form a random collection and, other than the possible arch of a priest's door, were set into the walls of the former church. These may have originally formed part of one or more earlier churches and have been used in reconstructing the chapel at Boroughbridge, perhaps after a raid by Scots in the early 13th century.[4]
