Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The church of Saint Paul was built in 1863-64, designed by W. Wigginton and seating 900. A district was assigned in 1865, taken from parts of the parishes of Saint Matthias and Saint Thomas. The church was damaged by enemy action during the Second World War and had to be destroyed, while the parish was united with Saint Matthew's (P72/MTW).
