Staple's church is dedicated to St. James The Great, Apostle and Martyr, and patron saint of all travelers and pilgrims. The church is mainly 14th & 15th Century, with a tower and East window of 13th Century origin. The Church has a fine lychgate which bears the date 1664. The clock is one-handed, showing the hours only. It was given to the church in 1789 by Lady Lynch of Groves. The clock was second-hand, having been used elsewhere, and was made long before 1789. The bell tower houses four bells (one of the oldest bells in Kent, one dating to between 1423 and 1440.
