Description
The Church of St Paul is a church built in 1839, with alterations and additions made in 1884. The earlier sections are constructed from coursed rubble, while the later additions feature rusticated coursed stone, both with ashlar dressings. The roof of the earlier phase is slate, and the later phase has tiles.
The church plan includes a chancel with a north chamber, a nave with a south porch, and a west tower with a north vestry. The chancel, dating from around 1884, has decorated-style windows on the south side and one on the east, along with a lean-to organ chamber to the north. The nave, built in 1839, features three decorated-style windows on each side and a single buttress on the north side. The south porch projects with a tiled gable and has pine side walls set on a coursed stone plinth. The tower, also from 1839, is a three-stage embattled structure with a stair turret addition from 1884 and a north vestry extension. The west door is pointed arched, with a decorated-style window above it at the first stage, two twin cusped lancets at the second stage, and four decorated louvred openings in the bell chamber.
Inside, the chancel has a scissor-trussed rafter roof with four trusses featuring arched braces and a pointed chancel arch. The east window contains stained glass by Mayer of Munich, and there is a reredos in an early German style. The nave roof consists of six bays with two purlins and four ornate pine scissor trusses, which have carved clasping collars and pendant hammerposts with cusped bracing.
