The description shall be amended to read:-

Former Presbyterian church. 1859, by T E Knightly. Brown Flemish band
brick with stone and polychromatic brick dressings; gabled slate roof.
One-cell plan with square sanctuary to east end. North Italian Romanesque
style. Gabled west front, of 3 stages, has semi-circular polychromatic
brick arches over central doorway with cushion capitals to engaged stone
shafts, panelled double doors and carved stone tympanum flanked by 2
boarded cast-iron windows; first-storey has continuous arcade of 9 semi-
circular polychromatic brick arches set on stone colonettes with cushion
capitals and moulded bases; panelled stone-coped parapet flanks gabled
upper stage with similar arcade of 5 arches.

Four-bay north and south elevations have semi-circular polychromatic brick
arches, over 4-light cast-iron windows; heavy stepped brick eaves courses;
clerestorey, clad in fish-scale slates, has 3-light windows each with stone
semi-circular arcade set on colonettes with cushion capitals and moulded
bases; one window to south has been removed for inserted mid C20 entry.
Plain extension of 1905 added at right angles to east end. Interior: semi-
circular sanctuary arch set on stone colonettes with inverted volutes to
cushion capitals; stone steps to balcony with panelled front set on cast-
iron columns; 4-bay roof with arch braces built of laminated timber, an
early example of its use. Foundation stone, to right of west door, was
laid by John Scott Prussel - a Scottish shipbuilder who had worked at the
nearby Napier yard on the Great Eastern and other ships; there is a
tradition that St Paul's was built to serve the needs of Scottish
ironworkers brought to work on the Great Eastern.
