St Paul's Church is the parish church of Hensall, North Yorkshire, a village in England.

Until the mid-19th century, Hensall formed part of the parish of St Laurence's Church, Snaith. [1] In 1854, St Paul's Church was completed, having been commissioned by William Dawnay, 7th Viscount Downe and designed by William Butterfield. Butterfield also designed the nearby Red House and Hensal Primary School. [2] The church was given its own parish in 1855. [1] Paul Thompson describes the church as "a compromise between Cowick and Pollington", both churches Butterfield completed in the same year. [3] Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as "very plain". [4] The church was grade II* listed in 1967. [2]

The church is built of pinkish-red brick with stone dressings and a grey slate roof. It consists of a nave, narrow north and south aisles, a southwest porch, a chancel with a south chapel and a north vestry, and a northwest tower. The tower has a doorway with a pointed arch, a gabled stair turret, slit windows, two-light bell openings, a cogged eaves band, and a pyramidal roof. Inside, most original features survive, including the pews, chapel screen, piscina, Mintons floor tiles, organ, octagonal pulpit and font, and mosaic reredos, which was restored in 1970. [2] [4]
