St Paul's church is a Grade II* listed building[2] by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport as it is a particularly significant building of more than local interest.

St. Paul's Church was designed by the architect John Loughborough Pearson between 1892 and 1896[3] and its construction began during May 1893 under the direction of J W Woodsend.

[4] Excluding the spire and tower – which were added in 1897[5] – the church was finished in December 1895[4] and consecrated on 4 February 1896 in honour of Paul the Apostle,[4] who is depicted on the stained glass of the windows.

[4] The cost of building the church was £26,000 (equivalent to £3,800,000 in 2023)[6] and was paid for by Sir Charles Seely.

[8] It is a two-manual instrument of twenty-four stops situated in the north chancel aisle[8] and its oaken case is delicately carved and traceried.
