St James' Church, Stalmine was originally called St Oswald's and was first recorded in 1240. In 1710 the church was enlarged and in 1806 was completely rebuilt and renamed St James'. In 1880 the chancel, sanctuary, vestry and organ chamber were added. It was refurbished in 1991 and in 2000 became a united benefice with the parish of St John the Baptist at Pilling and St Mark at Eagland Hill. In 2007, the church building was extended, and now has much more space that includes a parish office, kitchen, toilets, larger meeting rooms and extra facilities for young people. http://www.saintjameschurchstalmine.org/
