Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
Saint James the Apostle was founded by the City of London Clothworkers' Company, as a replacement for Lambe's chapel on Wood Street Square. A parish was formed in 1875 taken from parts of the parishes of Saint Peter and Saint Philip. The Clothworkers' Company were patrons. The church building was constructed between 1873 and 1875, designed by F.W. Porter. A statue of Lambe from the old chapel was placed in a niche over the door, and 4 Flemish roundels dating to 1577 were also incorporated.
