Church Of St Paul

The Church of St Paul is an Anglican parish church built in 1826. It features dressed limestone and a Welsh slate roof with coped verges and cross finials. The church has a short west tower, a nave, and a chancel that are all under one roof, along with a small sanctuary, a south porch, and a north vestry. The gabled porch has a moulded pointed doorway with a hoodmould and a cross above, as well as lancet windows on the sides. The nave includes three 3-light depressed Tudor-arched windows on either side of the porch, while the sanctuary has a similar 3-light depressed Tudor-arched window facing east. The small gabled north vestry features a pair of shouldered lights and corbelled stone stacks. On the north side of the nave, there are three more 3-light depressed Tudor-arched windows. The two-stage tower lacks string courses and has a planked shouldered west doorway, a 3-light depressed Tudor-arched window above it, and a bell stage with 2-light pointed louvred windows. The tower is topped with a shallow gabled roof with coped verges.

Inside, the porch has fixed stone benches and Tudor-arched double panelled doors leading into the nave, which has a collar rafter roof. The nave and chancel share the same roof and feature a Tudor-arched barrel-vaulted ceiling with a moulded stone cornice. There is a moulded Tudor-arched archway leading to the tower and a similar arch to the sanctuary at the east end. Notable fittings include a 19th-century octagonal limestone font near the south door, a late 19th-century communion rail with foliage and vine-carving and open traceried panels, and stained glass in the east window dedicated to Elizabeth Hargreaves, who died in 1887. There are also metal commandment boards on the east wall of the chancel, a damaged canvas Royal Arms on the west wall of the tower, likely from the 19th century, and a grey marble tablet with a pediment on the south wall commemorating Jane Smith, who died in 1778, along with other family members up to 1856.
