St James' Church in Handsworth, Birmingham, England was erected as an Anglican church in 1838–1840 (Handsworth was at that time in the county of Staffordshire) on land given by John Crockett of the nearby New Inns Hotel. The architect was of Wolverhampton, who specialised in Gothic Revival churches. A new chancel was added in 1878 and the building was rebuilt in 1895, to designs by J. A. Chatwin. The original chancel thus became the north chapel, the original nave became the north aisle, and the original western tower was redesignated as the north-west tower. The additions were a new chancel, a nave, and a south aisle. Chatwin's Decorated style, red-brick features contrasted with the Early English style stonework of the original building.

  • L'église Saint-Jacques (anglais : St James' Church) est une église paroissiale à Handsworth (Birmingham). Elle est érigée en 1838-1840 (Handworth était à cette époque dans le comté de Staffordshire) sur un terrain donné par John Crockett du New Inns Hotel avoisinant. L'architecte était Robert Ebbles, de Wolverhampton, qui était spécialisé dans les églises de style néogothique. Un nouveau chœur fut ajouté en 1878 et le bâtiment fut reconstruit en 1895 par Julius Alfred Chatwin. Le chœur originel devint ainsi la chapelle nord, la nef devint l'aile nord et la tour ouest fut redésignée comme la tour nord-ouest. Les agrandissements furent une nouvelle chapelle, une nef et une aile sud. Le style décoratif de Chatwin (avec des briques rouges) contraste avec l'édifice en pierres original. La paroisse de l'église fut créée en 1854 hors de celle de Sainte-Mary. Des parts furent cédées aux paroisses de Saint-Peter en 1907 et de Saint-Andrew en 1914. Le compositeur notable (en) (né en 1860) fut organiste à l'église Saint-Jacques de 1904 à 1908, juste avant son émigration en Australie. L'ancien registre des baptêmes, mariages et enterrements est conservé aux archives de la bibliothèque de Birmingham. En mai 2014, le vicaire est le révérend David Isiorho, un ancien assistant social et membre du conseil éditorial du journal Black Theology. Le culte est mené dans la tradition de la « Haute Église » anglicane. L'église est située à l'angle de la rue Saint-James, à laquelle elle a donné son nom, et de la rue Crocketts. Elle est rattachée au diocèse anglican de Birmingham. (fr)

The additions were a new chancel, a nave, and a south aisle. Chatwin's Decorated style, red-brick features contrasted with the Early English style stonework of the original building. The church's parish was created out of that of Saint Mary's in 1854. Portions were ceded to become parts of the parishes of St Peter in 1907, and St. Andrew in 1914. From 1883, the vicar was the Rev. . The noted composer Theodore Stephen Tearne Mus Bac, L. Mus, F.S.Sc. (born 1860) was an organist at the church from 1904 to 1908, immediately prior to his emigration to Australia. The famous tenor Leslie Webster Booth (born 1902) was a chorister at the church from 1909 to 1911, before he was accepted as a chorister at Lincoln Cathedral. The church's early baptism, marriage, and burial registers, and various parish meeting minutes, are in the archives of the Library of Birmingham. As of May 2014, the vicar is the Reverend Dr David Isiorho, a former social worker and a member of the editorial board of the journal . Worship is conducted in the Liberal High Church tradition. The church sits on the corner of Saint James Road, to which it gives its name, and Crocketts Road, just off the A41 Holyhead Road, and is in the Anglican Diocese of Birmingham. (en)
