Brief Description:
The St James Dalby Church was built in 1839 as a church and a school. It is no longer used as a school and is one of the smallest churches on the island but offers a very warm welcome. It's situated on the scenic west coast overlooking the sea and is bursting with community value. It also offers a huge range of activities for local residents as well as visitors.
