St Paul's Church is a Church of England church in Winchmore Hill, London Borough of Enfield. It was originally consecrated in 1827 as a chapel-of-ease to the Church of All Saints, Edmonton, [1] and built as a Waterloo church on land donated from the Grovelands estate by Walker Gray. The church ceiling was said to be the largest unsupported expanse of plasterwork in Europe until its renovation in the 1960s introduced concealed supports.
