St James the Great Ruscombe is an historic Grade 1 listed building originating from the 12th century. The oldest part of the church is the chancel which is built partly of flint. The nave and the tower were rebuilt almost entirely of brick in 1638. Between 1870 -80 the north organ chamber was added, and there are a number of interior features that are worthy of note. There are also five listed tombs within the churchyard from the 18th and 19th centuries.
