Saint James, Jamestown

Saint James Church stands as a stone structure with traditional Anglican architectural elements at the center of Jamestown, featuring restored spires and colonial design elements.

The current church building, completed in 1774, holds the distinction of being the oldest Anglican church structure in the entire Southern Hemisphere.

The church maintains regular Anglican services and ceremonies for the local population while representing the religious heritage of Saint Helena's British colonial period.

Visitors can find Saint James Church near The Castle in central Jamestown, with the building serving both as an active place of worship and historical monument.

The church structure underwent multiple modifications throughout its existence, including the removal of its spire in 1980 and subsequent restoration in 2020.
