Church Of Saint Paul

The Church of Saint Paul is a Grade II listed church built in 1852 by F.C. Penrose for Lord Wenlock. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features a red plain tile roof, designed in the Gothic Revival style reminiscent of the late 13th to early 14th centuries. The church has a three-bay nave, an octagonal north-west tower, a west porch, a north vestry, and a single-bay chancel.

The tower is three stages high, with a plinth and a square base that tapers to an octagonal shaft and spire. It includes lancet and slit windows, string courses on the first and second stages, and cusped bell openings on the third stage, along with gargoyles and a quatrefoil band. The spire is topped with a lead weathervane. The west entrance features a pointed plank doorway set in a chamfered surround beneath a gabled porch with naturalistically-carved brackets. Above this doorway is a two-light window with reticulated-style tracery under a hoodmould.

On the nave's south side, there are three two-light windows with trefoil heads, all under hoodmoulds. The north side has a plinth, with the vestry in the first bay featuring two trefoiled lancets. The nave also has two trefoiled lancets. The chancel has a plinth and a trefoiled lancet on the south facade, while the east window consists of three lights with reticulated tracery under a hoodmould.

Inside, the nave boasts a hammer-beam roof, and the chancel has a panelled ceiling. The chancel arch is double-chamfered with keeled responds, and there is a double-chamfered two-bay arcade between the nave and vestry supported by a cylindrical pier. An octagonal font is also present.
