Church Of St Paul

The Church of St Paul is a church dating from 1840 to 1843, designed by Cundy Junior. Later alterations were made in 1871-2 by R J Withers, in 1892 by Bodley, and in 1889 with the addition of a side chapel by Blomfield. The church is constructed of yellow brick with Bath stone dressings and is in the Perpendicular Gothic style. The centrally placed western tower incorporates a clock.

The interior features galleries to the north, south, and west, supported by cast iron shafts. The layout includes an eight-bay nave and a five-bay chancel, all beneath an open timber roof. Significant painted decoration is present, along with a screen and organ case designed by Bodley. The east window contains stained glass designed by Bodley and executed by Lavers and Westlake in 1892. South chapel windows were created by Lavers and Westlake in 1895. Stained glass in the nave is the work of Wailes. The church is designated Grade II* for the exceptional quality of its interior.
