Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: St James Church Tower and Spire, Paddington, near to Paddington, Westminster, Great Britain.
On 13 May 1843 the new church of St James the Less was consecrated by the Bishop, Bishop Charles Blomfield and on 28 January 1845, St James�s became the Parish Church of Paddington. In the early 1880�s G.E. Street, the foremost �Gothic� architect of his day (he was the architect of the Law Courts in the Strand), was engaged to redesign the church. The tower, spire, porches and crypt were retained from the 1843 building. The whole interior is lined with inlaid Devonshire marble, the work being carried out by Blackler of St Marychurch, Torquay. The new building could seat 1,320 and the ends of the heavy oak pews were carved, in situ, by a group of Church members especially trained for the purpose. No design is repeated. |
