The church at Newbold Verdon is dedicated to St. James. There is evidence that a church existed as early as the thirteenth century and, indeed, Niklaus Pevsner has declared the oldest parts of the church to be Norman. In 1811, the church had a tower holding two bells, a nave, chancel and south porch. There was a plain, octagonal font. Repairs were carried out in the mid 1830s at a cost of £700. In 1899, the architects Goddard and Co. oversaw further refurbishment to chancel, nave, north aisle and chancel aisle, and south vestry. A Spire by L.G.D. Ogden was added in 1960.
