Historique
The site of Saint James the Apostle was donated by James Lewis Minet, who also paid for the construction. Work began in June 1869 and the consecration took place in June 1870. A consolidated chapelry was formed in 1874. The architect was George Low who designed the church in a Decorated Gothic style, using Kentish ragstone and Bath stone.
The Church was closed in 1979 and the benefice has been united with that of Saint John the Divine, Vassall Road, Kennington.
