Description

The Roman Catholic Church of St. Paul is a Catholic church built in 1914 by the architectural firm Pugin and Pugin. It is constructed of red sandstone with a rock-faced finish and features a blue slate roof. The church has a four-bay nave with aisles beneath cross-gables, an octagonal baptistry on the northwest side, and a short tower on the southwest. The chancel is two bays long and has shallow chapels on either side. The design is in the Free Perpendicular style.

The west front includes two pointed entrances flanking a buttress, which has a statue in a niche above. There are two lancet windows and a higher four-light window. The tower features irregularly placed stair windows, three narrow lights, and two four-light bell openings, topped with a cornice and a short spire. The canted chancel has high two-light geometrical windows, while the flanking chapels each have a two-light window on the north and south sides.

Inside, the church has round columns with four shafts and moulded capitals, and the ceilings are adorned with boarded timber rib vaults. There is a west gallery with a narthex below, and a continuous altar rail extends to the chancel and chapels. The altars and reredoses are made of alabaster.
