St James Church, Shap

St. James' Church, Tebay in Cumbria.
The coming of the railway through Tebay and an influx of railway workers led to a population explosion for the small village and the need for its own church. This 'Railway Church' was built in 1880 by C.J. Ferguson, and paid for by the London & North Western Railway Company. The two-tone brick schema in the church copied many of L&NWR’s railway stations and the benches are replicas of the L&NWR’s station benches.
