Church Of St Paul

The Church of St. Paul, built between 1883 and 1884 by Thomas D. Barry and Son, is a Grade II listed church located on Railway Road in Adlington. It is constructed from yellow rock-faced stone with red stone dressings and features a slate roof with red ridging tiles. The church has a nave with aisles and transepts, a chancel, and a tower at the southeast corner. It is designed in an Early English style, except for the west window, which has Perpendicular tracery with rose tracery in the head.

The tower is battlemented and consists of three stages with angle buttresses. It includes an entrance porch and has coupled belfry windows with clock faces. The aisles are buttressed and have coupled single-light windows with cusped heads, while the nave features smaller two-light windows with similar heads. The transepts contain two lancet windows with cusped bars in the heads and a cusped oval window above.

Inside, the church has white ashlar walls and a five-bay nave arcade supported by clustered columns with moulded capitals, which in turn support two-centred moulded arches. The transept and chancel arches are similar but higher. The nave has a scissor-braced roof, and the stained glass is in a pre-Raphaelite style.
