Blomefield (1805-1810) writes; "The chapel of Holme is dedicated to St. James, and is an old building, having a nave and a chancel built of rag stone, and covered with reed; at the east end of the nave, which is about 52 feet in length, lies a marble grave-stone, [...] at the west end is a four-square tower, the lower part of rag stone, and quoins of free stone, the upper part (where it has decayed) is of brick and embattled, in which hang three bells. The chancel is separated from the nave by an old screen, and is about 24 feet in length, and 15 in breadth [...] This, as has been observed, is a chapel in the parish of Rungton, but had anciently the privilege of burial and baptism." The Our Past History site [http://ourpasthistory.com/Gallery/album419/Untitled_Scanned_21_004] [accessed 20 August 2009] has an old undated postcard showing a font at the west end of the nave, beneath the tower; the font consists of a plain octagonal basin, raised on a pedestal base and plinth; the only decoration on it appear to be the graded mouldings on the underbowl and lower base. [NB: the font appears to be from the 15th century, probably from the major re-building at the time].
