The first Anglican Church in the Northam district was the first St James' Church, built on the outskirts of the town in Hawes Street, between 1851-55.After complaints about the distance of the church from the town. Church services were then held in the Mechanics Institute.In 1889 St John's Church was built in the middle of town , but it proved too close to St John's Church and was demolished in 1904. To service the Anglicans in West Northam, a new St James' Church was built in 1911. The building is of red brick with a parapeted gable, a steeply pitched corrugated iron roof, wall buttresses, and narrow windows. On the western end the wall appears to have either collapsed or been removed as the wall is of corrugated iron
