Church of St Paul

The Church of St. Paul, built in 1839 by Edmund Sharpe with a chancel added in 1909, is a brick church featuring stone dressings and a red tile roof. It showcases a simple Romanesque style for the northwest tower and nave, while the chancel is designed in a 20th-century gothic style. The tower consists of four stages, with stone angle buttresses that extend into hexagonal corners topped with four pinnacles. Each side of the tower has central stone lesenes and stone Lombard friezes, with brick panels that include round-headed window openings, glazed at the first floor level and louvered above. The nave wall is made of brick, divided by stone lesenes into six bays, each containing a single round-headed window, with a Lombard frieze running beneath the eaves. The seventh bay features a larger arched and traceried window set between brick buttresses. The chancel, also of brick with stone dressings, is designed in a minimal gothic style. The interior is very plain, highlighted by a simple chancel arch.
