Sydney’s oldest church, consecrated in 1884 is well known for its beautiful architecture along with its bells which ring out across the city. The façade of the church is built in a Georgian style and while much has changed since it first opened its doors, the building has stayed true to its original character.
One of the most interesting facts about the church is that is was built entirely with convict labour. There are few buildings in Sydney left that were built in this period that have retained their original purpose and character.
St James often hosts lunchtime concerts of its choir, children’s choir well as seminars and other activities throughout the year. The Royal Australian Navy and other performers of high caliber can be heard throughout the year.
All are welcome to worship at services.
St James is located on King Street, Sydney.
