A. Chatwin.[1] The original chancel thus became the north chapel, the original nave became the north aisle, and the original western tower was redesignated as the north-west tower.[1] The additions were a new chancel, a nave, and a south aisle.[1] Chatwin's Decorated style, red-brick features contrasted with the Early English style stonework of the original building.[1] The church's parish was created out of that of Saint Mary's in 1854.[2] Portions were ceded to become parts of the parishes of St Peter in 1907, and St. Andrew in 1914.[1] The noted composer Theodore Stephen Tearne Mus Bac, L. Mus, F.S.Sc. (born 1860) was organist at the church from 1904 to 1908, immediately prior to his emigration to Australia. The famous tenor Leslie Webster Booth (born 1902) was chorister at the church from 1909 to 1911, before he was accepted as a chorister at Lincoln Cathedral. The church's early baptism, marriage and burial registers, and various parish meeting minutes, are in the archives of the Library of Birmingham.[6] As of May 2014, the vicar is the Reverend Dr David Isiorho, a former social worker and a member of the editorial board of the journal Black Theology.[7][8] Worship is conducted in the Liberal High Church tradition.[7] The church sits on the corner of Saint James Road, to which it gives its name, and Crocketts Road, just off the A41 Holyhead Road, and is in the Anglican Diocese of Birmingham.[7] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22976|title=Religious History - Churches built since 1800|work=A History of the County of Warwick: Volume 7|pages=379–396|accessdate=18 May 2014}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/cs/Satellite?c=Page&childpagename=Lib-Central-Archives-and-Heritage%2FPageLayout&cid=1223092750898&pagename=BCC%2FCommon%2FWrapper%2FWrapper|title=St James' Church, Handsworth c1920|publisher=Birmingham City Council|accessdate=18 May 2014}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.search.digitalhandsworth.org.uk/engine/resource/default.asp?theme=516&originator=%2Fengine%2Ftheme%2Fdefault.asp&page=&records=&direction=&pointer=4413&text=0&resource=166|title=Saint James' Church, Handsworth|publisher=Digital Handsworth|accessdate=18 May 2014|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140518205040/http://www.search.digitalhandsworth.org.uk/engine/resource/default.asp?theme=516&originator=%2Fengine%2Ftheme%2Fdefault.asp&page=&records=&direction=&pointer=4413&text=0&resource=166|archivedate=18 May 2014|df=}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.search.digitalhandsworth.org.uk/engine/resource/default.asp?theme=516&originator=%2Fengine%2Ftheme%2Fdefault.asp&page=2&records=20&direction=1&pointer=8370&text=0&resource=185|title=St James' Church, Handsworth|publisher=Digital Handsworth|accessdate=18 May 2014|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140518190325/http://www.search.digitalhandsworth.org.uk/engine/resource/default.asp?theme=516&originator=%2Fengine%2Ftheme%2Fdefault.asp&page=2&records=20&direction=1&pointer=8370&text=0&resource=185|archivedate=18 May 2014|df=}} 5. ^Ebbles is given as architect of St Paul's Church, Wolverhampton (1833-34, demolished 1960s); [https://www.flickr.com/photos/andymcgeechan/8718726470/ St Peters Church, Charles Street, Coventry (1840)]; St Pauls, Tipton; Christchurch, Garnant, Wales, and other churches around Wolverhampton as well as in Surrey and the Isle of Wight ("Garnant and Glanaman"). 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=143-ep90&cid=-1#-1|title=Access to Archives - Records of the ecclesiastical parish of St. James, Handsworth|publisher=The National Archives|accessdate=18 May 2014}} 7. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.achurchnearyou.com/handsworth-st-james/|title=St James, Handsworth|work=A Church Near You|accessdate=18 May 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.maneyonline.com/loi/blt|title=Black Theology An International Journal|publisher=Maney Publishing|accessdate=18 May 2014}} External links
