Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Saint Paul's Church was built by voluntary contributions as Saint Paul's Chapel in 1837-1838 soon after the closure of the Bentinck Chapel in Lisson Street. It was consecrated in 1838 and was assigned a district. The solemnization of baptisms was authorised in 1838 and that of marriages in 1860.

After the Second World War, Saint Paul's parish was united with Emmanuel, Maida Hill (P89/EMM), and Saint Matthew, Maida Hill (P89/MTW), to form the parish of Saint Paul with Saint Matthew and Emmanuel. In 1971 the parish was united with Christ Church, Cosway Street (P89/CTC). Saint Paul's Church became one of the parish churches of the parish of Christ Church and Saint Paul, St Marylebone, until it was closed in September 1977.
