St. James' Churchyard
Paddington, City of Westminster, Greater London, England
St James was built in 1841–1843 to accommodate the burgeoning congregation of St Mary's and replace it as the parish church. Within forty years the congregation had outgrown the building, and the church was much enlarged in 1882. N.B. It seems likely that when the new church was consecrated in 1843, the registers for St Mary's were taken to St James because it was now the parish church. Thus BMDs prior to this date attributed to St James, actually took place at St Mary's.
In 1940, St James's Church suffered considerable damage during the Blitz and the church crypt was used as an air-raid shelter.
