[James Skinner (1778-1841) was of mixed parentage, born of a Scottish father and a Rajput mother. At the age of 16, he was taken under the wing of the French commander of Maharaja Scindia's forces. He went on to fight in many battles and set up his own irregular cavalry called 'Skinner's horse'. St. James's Church in Delhi was founded by Skinner, who while lying wounded on the battle field vowed that if he survived, he would build a church in thanksgiving. Begun in 1826 and completed 10 years later, it is the oldest church in Delhi. After Skinner's death at Hansi in December 1841, he was buried in the Church in January 1842.]
