The Church of St. Paul is a parish church in the Church of England, located on Mansfield Road in Daybrook, Nottingham.[1]
The parish includes St Timothy church centre.
St Paul's church is a Grade II* listed building[2] by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport as it is a particularly significant building of more than local interest.
History[edit]
St. Paul's Church was designed by the architect John Loughborough Pearson between 1892 and 1896[3] and its construction began during May 1893 under the direction of J W Woodsend.[4] Excluding the spire and tower – which were added in 1897[5] – the church was finished in December 1895[4] and consecrated on 4 February 1896 in honour of Paul the Apostle,[4] who is depicted on the stained glass of the windows.[4] The cost of building the church was £26,000 (equivalent to £3,800,000 in 2023)[6] and was paid for by Sir Charles Seely.[2]
The spire, added in 1897, rises to a height of 150 feet (46 m).[5]
Stained glass[edit]
The stained glass windows are by Clayton and Bell.[2] They illustrate the life and works of Saint Paul.[4]
Bells[edit]
There are eight bells in the tower cast by Mears and Stainbank in London in 1897.[7]
Organ[edit]
The organ was built by Augustus Gern in 1896.[8] It is a two-manual instrument of twenty-four stops situated in the north chancel aisle[8] and its oaken case is delicately carved and traceried.[8]
