Church Of St Paul

The Church of St Paul is a parish church consecrated in 1874. It is built from rock-faced red sandstone and features a tile roof. The church includes a nave with a clerestory, a lean-to west porch, a north aisle, a north vestry, a south aisle with a pitched roof, and a lower chancel with a tower and spire on its north side. The windows display various types of geometric tracery. Above the porch at the west end of the nave, there are two trefoiled lights flanking a central window that has two trefoiled lights. Each aisle has a west window with two lights, and both the north and south aisles consist of three bays. The south wall of the transept has two bays, while the east window features five lights under a pointed head. The three-stage tower is supported by angle buttresses and culminates in a stone spire. Each side of the tower has bell openings with two lights and moulded pointed heads.

Inside, the church has five-bay arcades with pointed arches supported by round piers that have moulded caps and bases. The nave boasts a boarded barrel roof with tie-beams and tall bolted king-posts, while the aisles have open timber roofs, with the south aisle featuring trusses with arch-braced collars. The chancel arch is moulded and pointed, with short attached columns as responds, resting on corbels. The chancel screen is made of wrought iron, and the chancel itself has a barrel roof, twin sedilia, a piscina, and a carved stone reredos. Some of the windows contain stained glass from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
