Description
The Church of St. Paul is a church built in 1869 by John Wade, with George Savile-Foljambe as the patron. It is constructed from coursed, squared sandstone and features a graduated slate roof. The church is oriented from north-west to south-east, following the ritual orientation.
The structure includes a two-stage west tower with a recessed spire, a four-bay nave with a south porch, and a two-bay chancel that has a north vestry. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style. The tower has offset angle buttresses, a two-light belfry opening with a hoodmould, and a clock that is flanked by a corbel table under a string course. It features a moulded cornice and a pierced balustrade with pinnacles. The octagonal spire includes lucarnes, a string course, and a weathervane, while there is a circular window on the west side.
The nave has a chamfered plinth and offset buttresses at the angles and bays, along with a gabled porch. The windows consist of two cusped lights with trefoils beneath hoodmoulds that have carved stops. There are two octagonal chimneys on the north side. The chancel is lower and narrower, designed in the same style, with single-light windows and a three-light east window. It features shaped kneelers, ashlar copings, and gable crosses.
Inside, there is a west gallery and arch-braced trusses on carved corbels supporting the nave. The chancel has a painted panelled roof.
