Historique
The church of Saint James is the ancient parish church of Paddington. It existed before 1222, as a chapel. The first parish church was probably dedicated to Saint Katherine and was demolished in 1678; to be replaced by the church dedicated to Saint James. Between 1791 and 1843 the church of Saint Mary, Paddington Green, acted as the parish church. The church of Saint James was demolished in 1791. A new church of Saint James was constructed in 1841-43, enlarged in 1881. From 1885 onwards the ancient parish was divided up into smaller parishes to reflect the population increase in this area.
