Bix Brand's original parish church of Saint James is a small Norman building in Bix Bottom, about north of the village. It has a nave, chancel and several Norman lancet windows. Later additions include the Perpendicular Gothic east window and another Perpendicular window in the south wall. In 1874 the architect John Gibson completed the village's new Church of England parish church, closer to the centre of the village, also dedicated to Saint James. The new church has a north aisle and transept as well as a nave and chancel. Two of the north aisle windows contain sections of late 15th century Flemish stained glass. old church was abandoned in 1875 and became ruined and overgrown. Scenes from the 1971 Tigon British Film Productions film "The Blood on Satan's Claw" were filmed there. Funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund in 2015 has stabilised and preserved the ruin.
