HistoryIn 1817 the Anglican Church Mission Society (CMS) approved the establishment of missions in Ceylon.[1] On 20 December 1817 four clergymen - Joseph Knight, Samuel Lambrick, Robert Major and Benjamin Ward - and their wives left England and sailed to Ceylon on board the Vittoria.[1] They arrived in late June 1818.[1] Knight went to Jaffna, Lambrick went to Colombo, Major and his wife went to Galle and Ward and his wife to Trincomalee.[1] Knight started his missionary work in 1818 in Nallur.[1] In 1820 Knight bought a mission house in Nallur to conduct regular services.[2] An old, dilapidated Dutch church next to the mission house was handed over to the mission by the government in 1823.[2] This church was the site of the Nallur Kandaswamy Temple before it was destroyed by the Portuguese.[3][4] Part of the original Shivalingam of the Nallur Kandaswamy Temple was located in the Vicarage till 1995 when it was destroyed during the recapture of Jaffna by Sri Lanka armed forces and the platform where the shivalingam was mounted on can still be seen in the hallway of the vicarage. After extensive repairs this church was opened to the public for worship on 25 July 1828 (St. James' day).[2] Bishop James Chapman consecrated the church in 1847 and in 1849 a 60 feet tower was added.[2] The church was declared an archaeological protected monument in December 2011.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|last=Martyn|first=John H.|title=Notes on Jaffna - Chronological, Historical, Biographical|year=1923|publisher=American Ceylon Mission Press|location=Tellippalai|isbn=81-206-1670-7|url=http://noolaham.net/project/47/4668/4668.pdf|page=166}} {{Northern Province, Sri Lanka topics}}{{DEFAULTSORT:James, St.}}{{Anglican-church-stub}}{{Asia-church-stub}}{{SriLanka-struct-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=St. Jame's Church, Nallur|url=http://www.dioceseofcolombo.lk/churches/100-jaffna-archdeaconry/217-st-jame-s-church-nallur|publisher=Colombo}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Hussein|first1=Asiff|title=Sojourn in Jaffna : A traveller's paradise|url=http://www.sundayobserver.lk/2002/11/17/fea11.html|work=Sunday Observer (Sri Lanka)|date=17 November 2002}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Dureiswamy|first1=Sivanandini|title=The spiritual odyssey - Nallur darisanam|url=http://www.sundayobserver.lk/2011/08/28/mon20.asp|work=Sunday Observer (Sri Lanka)|date=28 August 2011}} 5. ^{{cite journal|url=http://www.documents.gov.lk/gazette/2011/PDF/Dec/30Dec2011/I-I%28E%292011.12.30.pdf|date=30 December 2011|title=PART I : SECTION (I) — GENERAL Government Notifications|journal=The Gazette of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka|volume=1739|page=1093}} 5 : 1828 establishments in Ceylon|Churches completed in 1828|Churches in Jaffna District|Church of Ceylon church buildings in the Diocese of Colombo|Archaeological protected monuments in Jaffna District |
