Clapham, St James
Kelley Christ of A&RME was appointed as Inspecting Architect to St James in 2012. Clapham St James was designed by N.F. Cachemaille-Day to replace a previous church which had been destroyed during the Second World War. The remarkable interior of St James Church, Park Hill belies the understated character of its external appearance. The furnishings are also designed by the original architect, and the interior is remarkably intact.
