St James church, was opened for its first service on June 4, 1775. To local historians, it is of huge interest as one of the oldest standing churches in Liverpool and the oldest remaining building in Britain to use cast iron columns.
St James is a much loved treasure and a link to history with a long standing association as ‘the slave church’. Of the nineteen monuments inside the church, many are to the memory of people connected with the slave trade.
