Description
The Church of St Paul is a church built between 1913 and 1915 by W Chasen Ralph and Son. It is constructed from snecked red sandstone and features a red tiled roof, designed in the Perpendicular style. The layout includes a nave, a west tower, north and south aisles, a chancel with a small south chapel, and a north vestry.
The exterior showcases a three-stage tower with angle buttresses. It has a two-centred arched three-light west window with cusped lights and Perpendicular tracery, a square-headed one-light traceried window, and a metal openwork clock face on the second stage. The belfry features paired segmental-headed windows with stone louvres, and the tower is topped with a traceried stepped parapet. On the south side, there is a shallow porch with a two-centred arched doorway and a parapet inscribed with "BRING AN OFFERING AND COME INTO HIS COURTS."
The five-bay south aisle is supported by buttresses and has a plain parapet with ridged coping. It features two-centred arched three-light windows in the first four bays, which include cusped lights and alternating forms of Perpendicular tracery, with moulded sills and hood-moulds extending to the buttresses. The fifth bay contains a shallow porch with a moulded two-centred arched doorway and a frieze that reads "YE SHALL REVERENCE MY SANCTUARY." The gabled chapel slightly overlaps the east end of the aisle and has a window with two square-headed lights featuring cusped and mouchette tracery. The chancel includes a segmental-headed four-light window in the second bay and a large segmental-headed five-light east window with Perpendicular tracery. The north aisle mirrors the design of the south aisle. The interior has not been inspected.
