Background
History
The church was built in 1827 on Lind Street, as only the second Church of England building in Ryde. It was commissioned by W. Hughes, with his brother Revd. Augustus Hewitt serving as the inaugural minister. Both brothers left in 1830, with Hughes being elected to Parliament as M.P. for Oxford. Revd. Richard Waldo Sibthorp, a Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, purchased the chapel and ministered to its congregation until 1841. From then, it was passed on several times, before in 1903 it was transferred to a group of five trustees, which holds it to this day. Since 1904 it has been part of the Church Society group of churches.
Visiting
St James' Church continues to be highly active with services at 10:30am and 6:30pm each Sunday, as well as a range of youth groups and mid-week groups. It is within the Conservative Evangelical tradition of the Church of England and before it left that church had passed resolutions to reject the ordination of women.
