The Church of St James in Halse, Somerset, England dates from the Norman period and is dedicated St James the Less. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]
The church includes some 12th and 13th century work, including the tower,[2] but the current building was mainly built in the 15th century. The north aisle was built around 1546 and the church was restored in 1900.[1] The brickwork is red sandstone which was laid down during the Triassic Period, with dressings of Hamstone.[3]
The interior includes a fan-vaulted rood screen,[3] which was previously larger but parts of it were removed in 1803.[4]
The Anglican parish is within the benefice of Milverton with Halse, Fitzhead and Ash Priors within the archdeaconry of Taunton.[5]
