Church Of St Paul

The Church of St. Paul is a parish church located in Newcastle upon Tyne, built between 1856 and 1859 and designed by John Dobson. The church is constructed of sandstone ashlar with a roll-moulded plinth and features a Welsh slate roof with stone gable copings. It consists of an aisled nave and chancel, along with a south porch. The porch has a two-centred arch with nook shafts and a head-stopped drip mould leading to a double door with elaborate hinges, set in a high-gabled porch that includes a lancet window at the peak. The aisles are adorned with paired lancets, and the clerestory windows are also two-centred arched. The west end features two tall lancets flanking a buttress, topped by a wheel window in the gable peak. The south-west pinnacle has gabled slits and a stone spirelet. The aisles are supported by mask corbel tables and buttresses.

Inside, the church has painted plaster walls with ashlar dressings above a boarded dado and an arch-braced roof. Round piers support two-centred double-chamfered arches in six-bay arcades. The stained glass includes a west window in the north aisle created by Wailes and Strang in 1903, with other glass having been removed from a nearby church. Notable monuments include a marble memorial on the west wall for Marcus Allen, a former vicar who died in 1843, featuring a portrait relief, and a low-relief portrait on a pillar by R. G. Davies in classical style, commemorating Amos Spoor, who died in 1842, along with other family members.
