EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, captured in 1875, offers a glimpse into the past of St James Church in Bermondsey, South London. A Church of England parish church, St James was a place of worship and community for the local residents. The church was completed and consecrated in 1829, marking the culmination of years of dedication and hard work by the parishioners. However, it wasn't until 1840 that St James was given its own separate parish, further solidifying its role as a spiritual and social hub for the area. As the years passed, St James continued to stand proudly amidst the bustling streets of Bermondsey. In 1949, it was designated as a Grade II listed building, a recognition of its historical and architectural significance. The church's intricate Gothic Revival architecture, with its pointed arches and ornate details, is showcased in this photograph, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance and faith. St James Church, with its rich history and beautiful design, remains an important part of the fabric of South London. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of the community and the importance of preserving our historical and cultural heritage.
