The earliest elements of the church date from the 12th century, with most of the exisiting structure from the 14th and 15th centuries. The church likely sits on the site of an earlier church dedicated to St. Ciwa, a local female saint.
Highlights of the church include 10-bay and 6-bay medieval wagon roofs, a 12th century tub font, a 16th century carved statue of St. James and a 14th century painted screen.
St. James', Llangua (Llangiwa) was extensively restored by the Friends of Friendless Churches in 2024 - 2025 and is now open every day for visits.
