[1] It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Knutsford, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield, and the diocese of Chester.

[3] St Paul's was built between 1853 and 1855 for Revd Joseph Horder at a cost of £1,316 (equivalent to £160,000 in 2023).

The completed church was consecrated on 18 March 1855, but later that year it was severely damaged by a fire.

At the west end is a square bellcote with shingle side and a hexagonal roof.

It is the sandstone chest tomb of Henry Langford-Brooke, carved by Macdonald and Eric Gill in about 1909.
