History

St James Church was started in 1831 and enlarged in 1882. In 1893, Shirley became its own ecclesiastical parish.[2]

The church is in a joint parish with:

  • St John the Divine, Shirley
  • Christ the King, Shirley
  • St Mary Magdalene, Shirley
gollark: I would probably use nginx, because I'm used to it and it has nicer configuration:```nginxhttp { # whatever important configuration you have for all HTTP servers, `nginx.conf` probably ships with some # fallback in case someone visits with an unrecognized Host header server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server; return 301 http://somedomain$request_uri; } server { listen 80; # you may (probably do) want HTTPS instead, in which case this bit is somewhat different - you need to deal with certs and stuff, and use port 443 - also you should probably add HTTP/2 listen [::]:80; # IPv6 server_name domain1.com; location / { proxy_pass http://backend1:8080/; } } server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name domain2.com; location / { proxy_pass http://backend2:8080/; } }}```
gollark: The reverse-proxy solution is in my opinion the best one, although it would require some config.
gollark: I think LetsEncrypt may not be very happy with that, though.
gollark: Yes, and you can just use a reverse proxy (with "vhosts" or whatever) for that, easy enough.
gollark: I think those are just what some webservers call "doing different things based on the host header".
