At the junction of Muswell Hill Road and Fortis Green Road, the original church of St James was built in 1842. In 1900 the original church was demolished and work on the current one commenced. The church is situated on top of a hill and its 170ft spire, which was finally completed in 1910, is visible for miles around. The church was damaged by incendiary bombs in 1941. The subsequent rebuild was completed in 1952. The church was designed by the prolific church architect John Samuel Alder (1848-1919).
