The history of St. James Church runs through two centuries and is an inspiring story of a living witness of worship and service beginning with fulfilling of a vow.
St. James' Church (also known as Skinner's Church) was once the official church of the British Viceroy of India in Delhi. It is situated near Kashmiri Gate, at the intersection of Church Road and Lothian Road. A bungalow belonging to the influential British India civil servant, William Fraser is behind the church; his remains are also buried in the church's graveyard.
The church features original European stained-glass windows depicting the crucifixion, ascension of Christ and his resurrection, a painting titled 'The Prodigal Son', original work of Italian painter Pompeo Batoni, a processional cross gifted by Edward Wood, 1st Earl of Halifax, a rare pipe organ gifted by Ralph T. Coe in 1899, and the church bell". Due to its historical significance, the church falls under Grade II heritage buildings category.
