St James’ was constructed in red brick with stone dressings, in 1774-75. The chancel was built in 1900. The church was declared redundant in 1974 and was vested in the Churches Conservation Trust in 1976 (https://www.churchofengland.org/media/810716/liverpool.pdf Liverpool Diocese). In May 2010 the church was returned to the Liverpool Diocese, and was re-opened as the Church of St James in the City. As it was in a "semi-derelict condition", a marquee was erected within the church to allow the resumption of worship. When repairs are complete, it is intended that the building should be used, in addition for worship, as a 600-seater auditorium and an exhibition centre. It is a Grade II* Listed Building (English Heritage Building ID: 359399 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-359399-church-of-st-james-#.VbPu3nnbKHs British Listed Buildings).
