Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Near to the Kashmere Gate & standing in it's own grounds, St. James's Church is also known as Skinner's Church due to it's founder being James Skinner who, being of mixed Indian/ Scottish parentage, was shunned by the British army so created his own calvary division. Being badly wounded in a military engagement, he vowed to found a church if he recovered.
This being the case, St. James's was built & consecrated in 1836.
The church exterior is painted yellow & white, yellow being the colour of " Skinner's Horse ", as his calvary was known. Indeed , it still exists within the Indian Army & his relatives still live in India.
Interesting interior with Skinner's cenotaph in front of the altar & plaques on the walls commemorating some of those who fell in the Mutiny of 1857.
The grounds are rather scruffy & contain a small, railed off set of tombs, some bearing the name Skinner. Shamefully, some rubbish chucked up on some of them.
I found the grounds shut for lunch when I arrived & gained access at 2:30 pm. Worth remembering. Very near to the confusingly multiple exit/entrance Kashmere Gate Metro station.

St James's Church - or Skinner's Church after Colonel JamesSkinner of Skinner's Horse -is a well maintained heritage building near the Kashmir Gate in Old Delhi. With links to the Indian Mutiny indicated by many plaques in memory of those who lost those lives in 1857 it is an important part of any 'Mutiny Tour' in Delhi. Until the 1930s the Viceroys used to worship here. Well worth a visit. No charge but a donation to the upkeep is most welcome.

St. James Church is believed to be the oldest surviving Church of Delhi. The beautiful imposing sturucture is a major landmark in North Delhi. Also, it has some really interesting stories associated with it. It was constructed by James Skinner, the son of a Scottish father and a Rajput mother. James Skinner, a Maratha Colonel, got badly injured in a war in the early 19th century. He prayed to God and promised that if he survived, he would build a church as a commemoration of his faith in God. Fortunately he survived and as promised, he built as church, which is now known as the Delhi Saint James Church. The compound of the St. James Church still houses the grave of James Skinner, in front of the altar.

Somewhere to be visited along with the Nicholson Cemetery and Mutiny Monument for those interested in the history of the Mutiny/First War of Independence. There is quite a few items relating "Skinner's Horse" inside the church.
There are also many moving memorial tablets on the walls of the church about British families killed in the mutiny which gives some insight into the past.
Look out for the Lord's Prayer and Apostle's Creed in the area to the side of the entrance.
All in all it feels a long way apart from the hustle and bustle of today's New Dehli

The first church to come up in Delhi by Col. James Skinner; services on Sunday Mornings but visitors can go in and ask if they can be shown around. The beautiful stain glass windows are best seen with the rising sun behind then in the mornings. Classy art all over.

Dear Sir/Madam I am travelling to India at the end of February and beginning of March next year (2018) I shall only be in Delhi unfortunately for one night. I wonder if you could tell me whether it is possible for me to visit your wonderful church late afternoon 5pm - 6pm approximately on saturday 3rd March. I am most interested in seeing inside as my great, great ,great grandmother was buried there on16th January 1839. Her name was Maria Bonnar. Please let me know if it will be possible . I shall be staying at the Royal Plaza Hotel for that night., Thank you so much in advance for your kind response. Very Best Wishes Greta Lawrence
