Church Of St Paul

The Church of St Paul is a church built in 1845 by John Dobson for Peter Dixon of Holme Eden. It features snecked sandstone ashlar and a Welsh slate roof with coped gables, designed in a Norman style. The west tower has clasping buttresses, string courses, and a tall broach spire with one tier of lucarnes, along with a south porch. The nave consists of five bays and a single bay chancel with a polygonal apse, featuring tripartite windows with two lights, blind side lights, and engaged column surrounds. The eaves are adorned with sounded dentils. There is a projecting vestry with a gable roof, and the chancel has clasping buttresses at the angles and a tripartite east window in the apse.

Inside, the furnishings have been altered since the church was built. The entrance to the nave from the tower includes a panelled door with a large leaded fanlight and the carved Royal Arms of Queen Victoria above it. The open timber roof has arch braces supported by wall columns, and the chancel arch features dog-tooth decoration with a rib-vaulted apse. There are several white marble wall plaques, and stained glass in the east window depicting the Last Supper, created by John Scott of Carlisle in 1845, as well as a west window of St Paul from the same year. This site is not ancient.
