Church Of St Paul

The Church of St Paul is a chapel of ease built in 1890 by W S Hicks for Eleanor, the dowager Duchess of Northumberland. It is constructed from sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a Westmorland slate roof, designed in the Early English style. The church has a three-bay nave with a south porch and a two-bay chancel, which includes choir and clergy vestries on the north and south sides.

The exterior includes plinths, quoins, and moulded sill strings. The porch has a pointed-arched doorway with a moulded arris and hoodmould, a gable with an apex cross, and paired lancet windows on the side returns. The nave, to the right of the porch, features a lancet window, a buttress, and paired lancets. The left gable has an octagonal bell turret with shouldered openings on all sides and a spirelet, along with a gable cross to the right. The west end of the nave has a tall lancet window set in a buttress that supports the bell turret.

In the chancel, there is a lancet window to the right and a gable cross to the right, with a lean-to vestry on the left that has smaller paired lancets. The east end is flanked by stepped buttresses and features triple stepped lancet windows with hoodmoulds.

Inside, the chancel arch consists of two chamfered orders with capitals decorated with nailhead designs. The arches leading to the vestries are continuously moulded, chamfered, and have hoodmoulds. The lancet windows have shouldered heads, and the south lancet in the chancel continues down to form a sedile. There is a trefoil-headed aumbry in the sanctuary, and the roofs of the nave and chancel are adorned with stencilled decoration.
