Biographical history
Saint James's United Reformed Church, Heather Walk, Edgware was founded in 1933 and was originally a member of the Presbyterian Church of England. Services were initially held on the site of Camford School, Hale Lane. Saint James's church hall was opened on 29th April 1933. After five years, the church hall reached full capacity in May 1938, however plans drawn up for an extension of the premises were put on hold due to the outbreak of the Second World War. Plans were then put forward again in 1948 for the addition of the transept and new church hall and eventual extension of the vestry block, completed in two phases. The foundation stone of new hall was laid on February 25th 1950 with the extension completed in October 1953. The church was united with Watling Church, Eversfield Gardens and Union Church, Mill Hill Broadway to become Trinity United Reformed Church in 2001 and all three worshipped together at Eversfield Gardens from May 2005.
