St James the Great Anglican Church History
With the steady growth of Sea Point and the Anglican community towards the end of the 19th century the need for a bigger church became clear.
The Reverent John Deacon and his band of helpers set about raising funds and calling for plans, cash was collected including 50 pounds from Cecil Rhodes a plan submitted by Mr George Ransome was accepted in June 1897 and a Mr Arthur Hopkins was appointed as the building contractor and on the 26th February 1898 Venerable Archdeacon T.F Lightfoot was invited to lay the foundation stone.
The church is built of blue mountain stone, probably from the quarry above Strand Street, the interior was rather plain but some colour was introduced when pieces of tapestry used at the coronation of King Edward VII in Westminster Abbey on 9th August 1902 was utilised.
By 1905 it was estimated that the members of the Anglican community numbered some 4000.
In 1902 it was realised that more space would be required for a growing congregation the architect was asked to draw up plans for the seating of 662 persons that would double the existing capacity.
It was not until June 1935 that contract for 2855 pounds was awarded to a J. Foster & company to extend the chapel eastwards, converting the north-east chapel and old organ chamber into a Lady Chapel and adding a new organ chamber on the south side. the church was deconsecrated on the first Sunday after Easter in April 1936
