The following building shall be added:
MALCOLM STREET SK 33 SE 12/288 Parish Church of St James II
Anglican parish church. 1866 by Joseph Peacock of London; N aisle added 1875 to original design. Coursed rock-faced rubble; tiled roofs. Nave and aisles (of four bays) with baptistry and double porches extending W; apsidally- ended chancel and sanctuary with flanking offices and porches. Aisles and nave separately roofed; aisles with single, double and triple lancets and buttresses with deep set-offs. 3-light windows to W, and large roundel to E. Lean-to W porches with spherical clerestory window over; distinctive W window of two lancets divided by single buttress with emphatic weathering, and roundel containing complex tracery over. Deep chancel/sanctuary with continuous set of lancets set high; offices and porches to N and S, continuous lancets to E and an over-sized SE and SW corner pinnacles, the former containing date of foundation along with the names of the architect and contractor (W Huddleston). Crested ridge tiles, wrought-iron finial crosses, and stone coping to all gables. Interior: arcades with steeply profiled double-chamfered arches on circular-section piers and moulded capitals; spandrels dramatically broken by cut- through mouchettes. Canted nave roof with exposed common rafters and principals; crown post roofs to aisles. E division of aisles marked by tie with traceried spandrels and crown posts. E end of church well raised. Side arches to chancel have trumeau with central roundel. Chancel roof keeled and boarded. Sanctuary lancets have inner order of shafts and walls have incises patterning. Reredos, with open central gabled canopy. Tiled floors. Fittings etc: font, stone bowl on clustered marble shafts and polygonal wooden canopy all in a vigorous High Victorian manner. Chancel fittings and pulpit later C19, with open tracery frontals. Glass includes two windows by Lavers, Barraud and Westlake dated 1892, 1897. Sanctuary lancets also by them contain small scenes from the Life of Mary and Christ. Peacock was a significant High, Victorian architect who reacted against the academic medievalism of the 1850s and whose work is marked by wilful detailing and massing; St James, Derby is one of his best works outside London.
