Historique
The church of Saint James the Less was consecrated in 1842. A district was assigned in 1843, taken from the parish of Saint Matthew. John Watts-Ditchfield, vicar from 1897 to 1914, introduced a range of activities and missions, including a dispensary and open air services. The church was damaged by enemy action in 1940 and a temporary church was used from 1951 while the church was rebuilt. The new building was opened in 1961. The parish merged with Saint Mark, Old Ford, in 1973.
