History

[edit]

St Paul's was built between 1853 and 1855 for Revd Joseph Horder at a cost of £1,316 (equivalent to £160,000 in 2023).[4] It was designed byAnthony Salvin. The land was given by the Langford-Brooke family of nearbyMere Hall, and the foundation stone was laid by Thomas William Langford-Brooke. The completed church wasconsecrated on 18 March 1855, but later that year it was severely damaged by a fire. It was restored, following Salvin's plans, and re-opened in 1856.[3]

They were designed by Henry James Salisbury and date from about 1884. The west window is in memory of Henry Langford-Brooke and depictsSaint Peter andSaint Paul.
