Church of St Paul

The Church of St Paul is a parish church built between 1843 and 1844, designed by W Hayley. It features coursed and squared rubble in small blocks with a slate roof. The layout includes a west tower with a spire, a nave with two aisles and a clerestorey, and a chancel, all in the Perpendicular style.

The exterior showcases a three-stage west tower with a wide west doorway, a tall three-light window with a transom above, and blind traceried arcading with a central roundel, which may have been intended for a clock. The upper stage has paired bell chamber lights, and the tower is topped with a stepped parapet and pinnacles at the angles and center. The spire includes lucarnes. Each aisle has doorways in moulded arches beneath squared hoodmoulds, with rose windows above. The aisles are divided by buttresses into six bays, each featuring two-light windows, similar to those in the clerestorey. The short integral chancel has lancet windows with transoms and a wide four-light east window divided by a transom, with octagonal buttresses forming pinnacles at the angles.

Inside, the church exhibits consistent detailing in the Perpendicular style. The nave arcade consists of five bays with octagonal shafts supporting chamfered arches, continuing into the chancel, which has an organ chamber to the north and a vestry to the south. A western gallery features ogee traceried panels, screened off with part-glazed panels in a similar style below. The roof has curved principals and collars with ogee tracery filling the spandrels. A low stone chancel screen includes ogee traceried panelling and an integral pulpit. There is a continuous band of similar ogee panelling across the chancel, highlighted as a reredos to the altar with mosaic infill, and as sedilia on the north and south sides. The east window contains pictorial stained glass titled 'Suffer the little children', dated 1920, and the eastern bay of the chancel roof features painted stencil work.
