St James, Chillingworth Road, Lower Holloway
A Disused church of 1837-38 by Inwood and Clifton. The tower was added in 1850. From 1980 to 1982 it was converted into commercial premises and is currently a co-working space. An image of its different colour in 2013 is at the end of this collection.
St James, Prebend Street, Islington
Away from the main roads through Islington this church replaced the Clothworker’s Guild City of London Lambe’s Chapel. Some Flemish glass and the figure of William Lambe were transferred here when this building was constructed by F.W. Porter in 1873-75. In the last couple of years there has been a reordering that has exposed the tiled work in the apse.
