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