Description

The Church of St Paul is a church built in 1839 by Tattersall, with a clerestory and south transept added in 1872 by Brakespear. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a fish-scale slate roof. The church includes a nave and chancel, transepts, aisles, a clerestory, and a west tower. The aisles consist of four bays with paired lancet windows that have hoodmoulds, set between slender weathered and gableted buttresses topped with a coped parapet. The clerestory has segmental-triangle windows. The transepts are adorned with triple-lancet windows, angled corner buttresses with nook-shafts, and corner pinnacles. The chancel features canted corners and a four-light east window. The three-stage castellated tower has angled buttresses, single-storey north and south abutments, a western roll-moulded pointed arch door beneath a two-light window, clock faces on the second stage, two lancets in the belfry, and corner pinnacles.

Inside, the nave has arcades of chamfered pointed arches under hoodmoulds, supported by collared octagonal piers, and features a quadripartite vault. There are galleries at the west end and north aisle. The chancel arch is chamfered and roll-moulded, resting on compound piers. The interior also includes pierced and traceried wooden screens and a hammer-beam chancel roof. The east window contains stained glass by Wailes.
