St James' Church, Sussex Gardens, Paddington, London, is the parish church of Paddington.[2]

History

The original church was designed by John Goldicutt[3] (c. 1841) but was finished by George Gutch after Goldicutt's death. Goldicutt's original scheme was for a neo-classical design in yellow brick,[4] influenced by his travels in Italy.[5] The yellow brick was used but Gutch changed the style to Gothic. The building was later extensively changed by G.E. Street[6] who prepared plans for its rebuilding, but died before construction started.

The Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein laid the foundation stone for the new church on 11 February 1882.[7]

Organ

The organ was built by William Hill & Sons and installed in 1882. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[8]
