Description
The Church of St Paul, built around 1853 by Perkin and Backhouse from Leeds, is now a photographer's studio. It features a nave with a south porch and north and south transepts, along with a tower located at the junction of the nave and the north transept, and a chancel that includes a north vestry. The church is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and has a roof made of Welsh blue slate, showcasing a Gothic Revival Early English style.
The west façade includes a four-light window with tall lancets set within a pointed-arched recess. The nave consists of four bays, with lancets separated by offset buttresses, and a gabled porch positioned at the second bay. The west end has coped gables topped with cross finials. The chancel is lower and has a two-bay design, featuring a cross finial on the coped gable at the east end, which also has a three-light window similar to the west window. The transepts are characterized by steeply-pitched coped gables, angle buttresses, two lancets, and trefoils at the apexes.
The two-stage tower has angle buttresses and a western semi-octagonal vice. It features a pointed-arched doorway with a chamfered surround, a quatrefoil, and a lancet above. The second stage of the tower includes two-light belfry openings, a bracketed cornice, and a broach spire.
Inside, the church has been gutted, but the arch-braced roof remains visible.
