Description
St Paul's Episcopal Church and Hall, built in 1897 by H D Walton, is a 6-bay, plain Arts and Crafts-Gothic church with a rectangular plan, oriented east-west. It features a steeply gabled swept roof with overhanging eaves, constructed from bull-faced red sandstone with ashlar dressings. The church has lancet windows with chamfered margins.
On the west elevation, there are paired, bipartite traceried lancet windows with a continuous cill course, and a traceried roundel above set within a relieving arch, along with a ventilation slit at the apex. The east elevation showcases a central 5-light, stepped lancet window. The south elevation consists of 6 bays, with a gabled porch at the far left that includes a lancet door, paired lancet windows, and buttressed bays. The north elevation mirrors the south, except for a single-storey advanced bay in the fourth bay from the right, featuring a piended roof and a church hall that abuts via a gabled link to the outer left bay.
The church includes leaded glass and stained glass in the gables, with a roof covered in grey graded slates, ridge tiles, and cross finials on the gables. The skews are coped with gablet skewputts, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.
Inside, the church has brick-lined walls with ashlar dressings, a pointed chancel arch, and an open timber beam roof supported by stone corbels. The deep window embrasures lead to an organ recess off the raised chancel, with a door to the vestry featuring a corbelled lintel.
The church hall is a single-storey, 4-bay gabled structure designed in the same style as the main building. The boundary is marked by a low, squared rubble wall along the street, topped with saddleback coping that rises to gatepiers, with later gates and railings.
