Description
The Church of St Paul is a church built in 1841 by Hayley and Brown, with a chancel and chapel added in 1864 by J. Lowe. It is constructed of red brick and features a slate roof, designed in a simplified neo-Norman style. The building includes a nave that incorporates a west tower, along with a chancel and chapel.
The three-stage tower has clasping corner pilasters, tall loop-light slots on the second stage, stone bands separating each stage, a corbel table on the second stage, and a plain brick parapet topped with octagonal brick corner pinnacles and stone spierlets. The west doorway is round-headed and flanked by shafts, with paired belfry openings situated above a clock and corner pinnacles.
The six-bay nave features clasping corner pilasters with stone cornices and ogival pyramidal stone caps, very tall and narrow lancets on each side of the west end, and pilastered side walls adorned with a tall round-headed lancet and a corbel table in each bay. The three-bay chancel has round-headed windows.
Inside, the church has a broad aisleless nave with a west gallery and a 20th-century suspended ceiling. The round-headed chancel arch is supported by angel corbels and foliated capitals, with similar decoration at the entrance of the chapel. The chancel roof is open-trussed, and the interior contains some Victorian stained glass, a neo-Perpendicular pulpit, lectern, and chancel stalls, as well as a neo-Gothic font.
