Church of St Paul

The Church of St Paul is a church built between 1892 and 1893 by architect J.L. Pearson. It is constructed of sandstone rubble and features a slate roof. The church includes a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, north and south porches, shallow transepts, a chancel with an apsidal end, a south apsidal chapel, and a north organ loft. The windows throughout the building have pointed heads, with the west window consisting of seven lights and flowing tracery. The west windows of the aisles each have six lights with Geometric tracery. Each aisle has three bays separated by buttresses and features three-light windows with Geometric tracery. The north porch is gabled and has a moulded pointed doorway, while the south porch, which has angle buttresses, was originally intended to have a tower and spire that were never built. The south porch doorway has a depressed pointed arch and is moulded with angle shafts. The transept windows are both six lights with Geometric tracery. The south chapel contains two two-light windows on the south side and three on the east side, while the east end of the chancel has five two-light windows.

Inside, the nave has four-bay arcades with tall pointed arches that spring from alternating round and octagonal columns with capitals. The fifth bay of each arcade features a compound pier and respond that opens into a transept. The chancel arch is moulded and has compound responds. Above the nave is a rafter roof with collars and scissor-braces. Two pointed arches connect the transept to a north chapel, and another two arches spring from paired columns to connect the chapel to the chancel. The chapel is divided by a two-bay arcade running east to west, and a two-bay arcade separates the south chapel from the chancel. The chancel ceiling is plastered, and the lower part of the walls is panelled in oak. The chancel also contains elaborately carved choir stalls and a carved sandstone font.
