Summary edit

Description
English: Exterior view of St James's Church, Delhi', 1836. Watercolour on European paper, by a Company artist, Delhi. The Anglo-Indian soldier James Skinner (1778-1841) was the son of a Scottish officer in the East India Company's service and a Rajput lady. After being wounded on campaign Skinner vowed that if he survived he would build a church as an offering of thanks to God. He did this at a cost of £20,000 and it was consecrated in 1836. In the foreground the tomb of Skinner's close friend William Fraser (1784-1835) can be seen. Fraser was an administrator in the Company's service and a major in Skinner's regiment. He was also an artist and a collector of Company paintings. Fraser was assassinated in 1835 and later Skinner had his friend's remains moved to the newly-built church.
