Description
The Church of St Paul is an Anglican church built between 1851 and 1852 by architect A Trimen. Following a fire in 1987, the church underwent alterations, which included re-roofing at a lower height and the removal of the original clerestory. The church is constructed of uncoursed rubble with freestone dressings and features a 20th-century roof material.
The exterior includes a three-stage west tower with a tall first stage supported by diagonal buttresses. There is a south door with a simple hoodmould, and the bell chamber has paired lights with stilted arches, separated by a pilaster on a corbel head. A quatrefoil frieze is located below the embattled parapet, which has a corbel table. The tower is topped with a corner octagonal stair-turret and a spirelet, while the spire features lucarnes. The aisle windows display geometric tracery in two and three lights.
The south porch has a chamfered arched doorway that is now disused, with the current entrance located in the east elevation of the porch. The transept windows are richly decorated with geometric tracery, including a four-light window and a triple window at a low level in the west wall. A rose window projects from the vestry gable, and the chancel is supported by angle buttresses, featuring a four-light east window with geometric tracery and a hoodmould above. The vestry is located to the north and has a canted east end, while the north transept contains a two-tier geometric-traceried window.
Inside, the church was remodeled after the fire, but the arcade of four bays with octagonal piers and semi-octagonal responds remains intact. The east window features stained glass, which is undated but believed to be from the late 19th century, depicting the conversion of St Paul. A stone-traceried reredos is flanked by mosaic-tiled panels illustrating scenes from the life of St Paul.
