Church of St James, Liverpool, Anglican church in Toxteth, England
The Church of St James is an Anglican church in Toxteth built with red brick and stone detailing, featuring rounded windows and a distinctive tower at its west end. Inside, three galleries rest on cast iron supports in a Georgian architectural style.
The building was constructed between 1774 and 1775 by Cuthbert Bisbrown as a chapel serving Walton parish. It gained independent parish status in 1844 and became its own church.
The congregation brought together merchants, factory workers, and people from West Africa, the Caribbean, and America. This diversity shaped the life of the community across generations.
The church welcomes visitors during opening hours to view its Georgian architecture and interior spaces. Parking is available near the building for easy access.
The building houses Britain's oldest cast iron columns in a religious structure, supporting the interior galleries. This 18th-century technical innovation demonstrates early industrial craftsmanship.
