Built by the famous Colonel James Skinner in a Greek cross design, St James Church is designed in a cruciform plan with the altar facing towards the eastern direction and entrance towards the western direction. The center of the church is octagonal in shape with circular columns supporting the dome. In the early 19th century, James Skinner, who fought for Marathas after being declined an entry into the British army due to his mixed blood, was once badly wounded in a war. He was left on the battlefield and the possibility of his survival was very bleak. He prayed to God and vowed that if he escaped the assault of death, he would build a church to commemorate his faith in God. Thus he built the St James Church. St James Church of Delhi reflects western classical design and Greek cross plan in its architecture.
