Welcome to the ‘home’ page of St. James the Great,
the parish church of Longdon, Staffordshire. The shell is one of the symbols of St. James. Pilgrims to the shrine of St. James in Santiago de Compostela used to collect scallop shells as a token of their visit. The shells below are links to the main pages in this site, and there are other links to the left of this panel. We hope you enjoy browsing and that you find the site interesting and informative. If you are not a regular worshipper here, we look forward to seeing you at one of our events or services.
