Description
The Church of St Paul is a parish church built in 1834 by Anthony Salvin. It is constructed from ashlar stone and features a Welsh slate roof. The church has a nave with a bellcote and an apsidal chancel, designed in the Romanesque style. The west door is adorned with columns that have cushion capitals and a multi-moulded arch. There are one-light windows on either side of the door, along with a string course that rises above the door and windows. Above the door, there is a round-headed window flanked by trapezoidal recesses with colonettes on the sides. The nave consists of four bays, each with one-light round-headed windows and a string course that rises over each window, with buttresses located between each bay. The chancel features a priest's door with a roll-moulded arch and cushion capitals, similar windows, and a corbel table. It has a gabled roof and a gabled double bellcote with roll-moulded arches and cushion capitals. Inside, the nave has a canted, plastered barrel-vaulted ceiling, while the chancel has a round barrel-vaulted ceiling. There is also a screen and an elaborate octagonal pulpit from 1915, which includes twisted Ionic colonettes and figures of saints in niches.
