The Church of St.&nbsp;James in Charlestown is a painted [[tongue and groove]] timber building, now a grade&nbsp;II listed building.<ref name="BLB-CoSJ">{{cite web |title=Church of St James – Shipley |work=British Listed Buildings |access-date=7 March 2011  |url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-337878-church-of-st-james-shipley}}</ref>
It was moved to Baildon from [[Great Warley]], Essex in 1905.
The Reverend N.&nbsp;R.&nbsp;Bailey, rector of Great Warley, had property in Baildon and hoped to retire there.
However his obituary was published in November 1900 before he retired.
In 2007/2008 the church was moved again, but only by a few yards.
This allowed the surrounding land to be sold by the Diocese for development.
Rotten timbers were replaced and underground [[heat pump]] system installed to make the building more eco-friendly.

The Church of [[St. John the Evangelist]] designed by Mallinson & Healey, was built in 1848 though the south tower was not added until 1928.
The east window designed by Powell & Sons was added in 1870.<ref name=SJEB>{{cite book |last=Pevsner |first=Nikolaus |title=The Buildings of England – Yorkshire West Riding |year=1998 |publisher=Penguin |isbn=978-0-14-071075-5}}; {{cite web |title=Church of St John the Evangelist – Shipley |work=British Listed Buildings |access-date=6 March 2011 |url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-337863-church-of-st-john-the-evangelist-shipley}}</ref>
