Description
The Church of St Paul is a cruciform church of 1815, designed by Christopher Edmonds, with later alterations to the east end by Blomfield in 1879. The church features a wide nave, a west porch, a chancel with aisles, a south extension, and a lower, half-octagonal apse. It is constructed of stock brick with a fairly low-pitched slate roof, deep eaves supported by paired brackets, and a stuccoed frieze. Segmental gauged brick arches feature above the nave windows, with the upper windows being longer. Round-arched windows with roll moulding are present in the chancel and transepts. The transept ends are pedimented, and a wide pediment above the three-bay west end displays a plaque reading "1815 ST PAULS CHURCH," with a lunette above. The church grounds include several notable tombs, featuring numerous early 19th-century sarcophagi.
