Church Of Saint Paul

The Church of Saint Paul is a Grade II* listed building located on Main Street in Healey, constructed in 1848 by E B Lamb. It is built from coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. The church is designed in a Decorated style and consists of a nave with a south porch, a central tower with transepts, and a chancel.

The nave has three bays and includes a plinth, offset diagonal buttresses at the west end, and angle buttresses that divide the bays, all topped with pinnacles. The windows are two-light pointed-arch cusped types with hood-moulds. The west bay features a gabled porch with a chamfered pointed-arched doorway, also with a hood-mould. The tower is adorned with offset angle buttresses, two-light pointed-arch cusped windows, a cornice, and a stone broach spire with four lucarnes. The transepts have offset angle buttresses, a round chamfered window, a decorative band, and parapets with chamfered coping and flat roofs. The chancel consists of two bays similar to the nave, but with single-light windows.

Inside, the crossing has four narrow tower arches, with heavy rusticated squinches in the corners leading up to the tower and a second set leading to the spire. The stone altar rail features trefoil cutouts and central cast iron gates. The church contains wooden pews with carved ends, choir stalls, a pulpit, and a font, all designed by Lamb. The timber-framed roof is supported by decoratively carved scissor trusses. Notable stained glass windows include one on the north side commissioned by Lamb, which bears his cypher and the date 1848, as well as a west window likely by Lamb and an east window by Sir Robert Frankland-Russell.
