Description
The Church of St Paul the Apostle is a parish church built in 1866. It is constructed of snecked stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof with stone cresting. The church has an unaisled four-bay nave that includes a south porch, a chancel with a canted apse, a south vestry, and a later addition of a north organ chamber, all designed in a 13th-century style.
The nave is supported by stepped angle buttresses and has a sill string. The south porch features boarded double doors set under a pointed arch, complete with a hoodmould and a slit window above, all within a steeply-pitched coped gable supported by moulded kneelers. Each return of the porch has a circular window. The north and south walls of the nave are adorned with two-light windows that have pierced circles in their spandrels. At the west end, there are two tall lancet windows flanking a buttress that supports a bellcote, which has a pointed arch and a ring-cross finial. The chancel apse contains small lancet windows and has walls that are battered out, along with a sill string and ornamental ridge cresting. The vestry features a boarded door, single-light windows, and a tall truncated stack.
Inside, the church is plastered and features unmoulded pointed arches leading to the chancel and organ chamber. There is a cusped aumbry and sedile in the sanctuary. The roof is a hammer-beam style with arch braces and upper crown posts, supported by iron tie-rods with scrolly brackets beneath each truss. Additionally, there is a panelled reredos that serves as a war memorial.
