History

The foundation stone was laid on 5 October 1870 by Mr. Farmer. [2] The church was built between 1870 and 1872 to designs of the Birmingham architect Edward Holmes. George Lilley of Ashby-de-la-Zouch was chosen as the contractor. [3] It was consecrated by the Bishop of Worcester on 2 April 1872. [4]

Part of the burial ground was not ready until 1873, and the Bishop of Worcester returned on 22 September 1873 to consecrate it. [5] It contains the war graves of a West Yorkshire Regiment private of World War I and a Royal Marines sergeant of World War II. [6]

On 28 February 1992 it became a Grade II listed building, listed as "Church of St Paul". [7]

Organ

The organ was installed by Walter James Bird in 1914. [8] It is a two manual and pedal organ of modest disposition of 8 ranks.
