St. James' is a suburban seaside Parish on the outskirts of Margate in Kent. The church was founded in 1872 and is blessed with a very attractive building that has an atmosphere of warmth and friendliness. Many visitors comment on the striking East window, which depicts the growth of the church from the day of Pentecost to the present World-wide community of Christians. The Church was designed by Charles Nightingale Beazley FRIBA, and is built of sandstone which is unusual for this part of Kent, it stands on a (now) very busy Margate to Herne Bay Road. It took 30 minutes of waiting for traffic to clear to get this shot. MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED.
