Church of St Paul.
II
Church 1868-70 by John Douglas, south aisle (and transept?) added 1909
by Douglas and Minshull. Coursed rock-faced yellow sandstone; graded
green Westmorland slate roofs. Nave with towerless slate west spire;
catslide roof of shallower pitch over south aisle; transepts; apsidal
chancel. Paired lancets and very simple plate tracery. Externally
the steep roofs, with the splay-footed octagonal spire seeming to
float above two great bell-louvres around its base, are a powerful
feature, architecturally very advanced.
Interior. Nave of 5 bays; beam on octagonal stone piers carries
simply-framed aisle roof; wide arch-braced nave roof; corbelled piers
carry nave and chancel arches, very simple; chamfered unmoulded
transept arches; lofty chancel roof with no principal rafters but
hammer-posts to common rafters; deeply splayed embrasures; glass in
porch, chancel and south transept. A satisfying interior.
