GB 0074 P84/JS 1845-1989 Collection 1.9 linear metres Parish of St James Norlands, Kensington , Church of England

The church was built during 1844-1845 in white brick to a design of Lewis Vulliamy. The interior originally featured a polychrome interior decoration, which was removed in 1950. However, a number of other original features remain, including the stained glass windows. The church organ has been part of the church since 1921; it was restored in 1966 and is the focal point of many performances. The church provides the venue for performances by the W11 Opera Company for Young People. The church briefly appeared in the film Notting Hill. Fundraisers made marketing history by raising £150,000 towards restoration costs from a single mail-shot; 90% of donors never having given to the church before.
