Introduction
St James Park consists of a rectangle of grass with a children’s playground. The mature lime trees around the perimeter and forming a central avenue were planted in around 1920. The park is adjacent to a number of other facilities to the south-west that were also part of Low Hall Manor: an area of allotments, Low Hall Playing Fields, which were formerly marshlands used for pasture by the Manor, and Low Hall Conservation Area (0.65ha), a derelict area being developed into a woodland nature area by local volunteers.
