Description
The Church of St Paul is a parish church built in 1837. It features coursed stone with block and ashlar dressings and a plinth, topped with a blue machine tile roof and verge parapets. The church has a single-cell, two-bay nave, with raised quoins and a moulded eaves band. The west gable includes a crenellated parapet with a bellcote. A pedimented single-storey porch is located at the south-west, adorned with crocketted pinnacles. The windows are round-arched with rusticated surrounds and cornices, while the round-arched doorway has block imposts and a keystone, leading to a boarded door with a fanlight above. A bas-relief datestone with floral embellishments is positioned in a hooded surround over the porch. The east window features a Venetian design with a moulded centre arch. Sir George Crewe raised £600 through public subscription to fund the church's construction.
