Description

The church of St James was built in 1908-1910. The architects were F. Wheeler and C. R. B. Godman.

History

The font comes from St Mary's, Littlehampton, which was rebuilt in 1934. It was mentioned in the sermon given by the Bishop upon the dedication of St Mary's in 1934 (Littlehampton Gazette, 18 May 1934, 5) and was photographed inside St Mary's by G. C. Druce in 1947 (Historic England Archive, red boxes). At that time the font was positioned on the floor, without the columnar stem or plinth.
