St. James’ Church (Skinner's Church)
New Delhi, India


St. James’ Church, also known as Skinner's Church, is a Victorian Gothic structure built in 1836 and one of the oldest churches in Delhi. Its striking red-brick façade and stained-glass windows serve as a testament to the era's architectural style commissioned by Colonel James Skinner, a prominent figure in the East India Company.
The interior features intricate woodwork and a peaceful ambiance, which stands in contrast to the urban surroundings. Visiting this church is particularly serene in the early morning or late afternoon. It's located in Kashmiri Gate, close to other historical sites like the St. Stephen's Church and the nearby Civil Lines area.
