St. Paul's Church was designed by the architect John Loughborough Pearson between 1892 and 1896 and its construction began during May 1893 under the direction of J W Woodsend. Excluding the spire and tower – which were added in 1897 – the church was finished in December 1895 and consecrated on 4 February 1896 in honour of Paul the Apostle, who is depicted on the stained glass of the windows. The cost of building the church was £26,000 (equivalent to £3,800,000 in 2023) and was paid for by Sir Charles Seely.
The spire, added in 1897, rises to a height of 150 feet (46 m).
Stained glass
The stained glass windows are by Clayton and Bell. They illustrate the life and works of Saint Paul.
