Church Of St Paul, Walkden

The Church of St. Paul in Walkden is a church built in 1848, with a north aisle added between 1881 and 1889, and restored in 1904. Designed by William Young, it features snecked stone construction with a slate and clay tile roof. The church is designed in the Gothic Revival style and includes a nave, clerestory, aisles, and a chancel, along with a south-west tower.

The structure has a 6-bay nave and aisles, characterized by a projecting plinth and plain buttresses. Each bay contains a lancet window in the aisles and quatrefoil windows in the clerestory. The chancel is 2 bays long and features a 3-light window on the east side. The gables are coped and topped with cross finials. The west door is adorned with a nail-head enriched arch, flanked by two 2-light windows with plate tracery above.

The tower is three stages high, with a south door, angled weathered buttresses, clock faces, and 2-light belfry openings. It also has an octagonal corner stair turret and a coped parapet above a corbel table.

Inside, the church has a double-chamfered nave arcade supported by alternating circular and octagonal columns. The hammer-beam roof of the nave springs from carved angelic corbels, while the chancel features a rafter roof. The stone and timber fittings include stalls and a chancel screen dating from around 1910, as well as a mosaic reredos.
