Description

The Church of St. Paul is a parish church built in 1816, likely designed by Jeptha Pacey, with later alterations in 1872. It is constructed of red brick with yellow brick dressings on the chancel and features painted ashlar dressings. The church has slate roofs and wide eaves overhangs that are bracketed on the nave, creating open pediments at both the east and west ends. The chancel has dogtooth eaves, and pilaster strips define the bays of the nave.

The west nave is topped with a wooden octagonal cupola, each side featuring a single pointed arched opening. There is a pointed arched doorway on the west nave, with a door that has blind cusped tracery. Above the doorway is a painted band with a rectangular plaque inscribed '1816'. The north nave consists of three bays, each with a single pointed arched sash window that has wooden Y tracery. To the left is the vestry, which has a pointed arched doorway and a single fixed light to its left. A lean-to projects from the north wall of the chancel added in 1872. The canted east chancel has three pointed arched windows, while the south chancel features a single similar light. The east nave shows evidence of a former band, and the south nave corresponds to the north.

Inside, there is an inner porch with a doorway leading to the gallery, which has a panelled west gallery featuring cast iron Royal arms. The doorway has double doors flanked by single fixed lights with pointed arched glazing bars. The nave includes a panelled dado, and the chancel arch is moulded brick with painted imposts, a hood mould, and decorative label stops. There is also an archway leading to the vestry and a panelled pulpit. This church is one of many constructed in the area following the Fen Churches Act of 1816.
