Congleton St James was formed in 1847 from&nbsp; [[Congleton St Peter,Cheshire]] and the earlier Ancient parish of&nbsp; [[Astbury, Cheshire]].&nbsp;
 
In 1847 the district of Astbury contained a population of three thousand four hundred. Under an act known as ‘Sir Robert Peel’s Church Extension Act’, which was designed to make better provision for the spiritual care of populous parishes, the church of St. James was born.<br>
 
The Church consists of Nave, Side Aisles and Chancel, with a porch at the northern end and a bell-cot surmounting the western end of the Nave roof.
 
Other closely associated chapelries also lying within Astbury ancient parish included the chapelries of Congleton St Peter and St Stephen's, Mossley Holy Trinity, Buglawton, Rode, Smallwood, and Somerford; together with several places of worship for dissenters, in the parish.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=50767 A Topographical Dictionary of England] (1848), pp. 100-104.
