Summary Description

This modest stone church was designed in a Tudor Arts-and-Crafts style shortly prior to the First World War, though it was never completed to its intended design. Its origins, as with many urban church in Lancashire, lie in population growth driven by the textile industry. St Paul's is an aisled, 5-bay nave, with a shallow chancel and flanking vestries, constructed of coursed sandstone slabs and stone dressings.
