The Church of St James is a Grade I listed 12th-century Anglican parish church in Antony, Cornwall. It includes structural elements from the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. Part of the nave and chancel survives from the 13th century and includes a sedilia and round-arched chamfered piscina. The tower was built in the 14th century and the aisles in the 15th.
The sandstone building has granite dressings and slate roofs. The two-stage tower is supported by diagonal buttresses and has a parapet. It has bell openings and a wooden clock dating from 1810. There is a five-bay south aisle and six-bayaisle to the north.
Inside the church are memorials to members of the Carew family of Antony (18th century) and a large monumental brass to Margery Arundell, 1420. The pulpit dates from around 1500 and includes panels which look like Spanish work, and one of the fonts is from the 15th century. A wooden chest from the 16th century acts as the altar. The stained glass in the windows includes works by Clayton and Bell and Charles Eamer Kempe.
References:The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
