St James's Church, Kolkata

In 1861, Sir George Gilbert Scott produced a ‘design for a church in a tropical country’ which was shown to the Northampton Architectural Society. This was probably for St James’s Church, Calcutta. The design was later rejected and worked started in 1862 on a church designed by the railway architect Walter Granville, although he may have based his ideas on Scott’s original plans.
