Former Church Of St Paul (Now Red Rose Radio)

The former Church of St Paul, now known as Red Rose Radio, is a church building dating from 1823 to 1825, designed by Thomas Rickman and Hutchinson. It was enlarged and renovated in 1882 and has since been altered. The church is constructed of sandstone ashlar with a tiled roof and is designed in the Early English style, featuring lancet windows throughout.

The building has a rectangular plan under a three-span roof, with a chancel and attached offices. The nave is surrounded by full-height aisles, creating a tripartite west front that includes a gabled center framed by octagonal turrets and narrow parapeted side sections with diagonal buttresses. The central section features a ground floor arcade with three bays of two-centred blank arches, each with hoodmoulds that have figured stops, and a chamfered window in each arch. Above this are three stepped lancets with linked hoodmoulds that run out as an impost band, a small circular window above, and a parapeted gable topped with an apex cross.

The flanking turrets are characterized by tall, slender open arcading, cornices, and embattled caps topped with tall pinnacles that have carved quatrefoil finials. Each side piece contains one tall lancet with a hoodmould, along with a parapet and shallow hipped roof. The seven-bay sides are supported by buttresses and feature a two-centred arched doorway in the first bay, with a window above it, and tall coupled lancets in the other bays, all of which have hoodmoulds with figured and foliated stops.

The two-bay chancel, which has been altered for use as a garage at ground floor, includes an east window with three tall stepped lancets that have foliated shafts and pinnacles similar to those at the front, along with flanking one-bay offices designed in a similar style.

Inside, the church has been remodelled but retains aisle arcades with very tall slender clustered shafts, moulded caps, and roll-moulded two-centred arches. At the ground floor of the west end, there is a three-bay arcade of polished columns with carved foliated caps.
