Church Of St Paul

The Church of St. Paul, built between 1865 and 1867 by the architect Paley, features elements from the 16th century and retains some Norman remains. Constructed from snecked sandstone rubble with a slate roof, the church includes a west tower, a nave with a clearstorey, a lower chancel, north and south aisles, a north transeptal organ chamber, and a south porch.

The three-stage tower is supported by diagonal buttresses and topped with an embattled parapet. It has bell openings consisting of three round-headed lights beneath a flat head with a hood. The west door is pointed and features two hollow-chamfered orders along with a hood. Above the door is a window with three cusped lights and Perpendicular tracery under a segmental head. The south aisle has four bays to the east of the porch, separated by buttresses, with windows that have flat heads, hoods, and consist of three lights with Perpendicular tracery. To the left of the right-hand window is a priest's door with a moulded pointed head. The four clearstorey windows have flat heads and alternate between pointed and ogee lights. The east window features a segmental head with three cusped ogee lights and Perpendicular tracery.

In the west wall of the north aisle, there is a Norman doorway with one order of columns that have scalloped capitals. The inner order of the arch is cut from a tympanum adorned with figure decoration, and the doorway is filled with medieval cross slabs and coffin lids.

Inside, the church has nave arcades of four bays with pointed arches and octagonal piers. The chancel arch mirrors this design, as do the arches between the chancel and the north organ chamber and south chapel. The roof is supported by trusses on stone corbels, featuring arch-braces and king posts. Several wall tablets from the earlier church have been re-set, including four by Websters of Kendal and a relief figure and urn by C. Regnart.
