History
The parish of Saint Paul was established in 1830. Parts of the parish were later transferred to other new churches. The church was constructed in 1826-28 to designs by Charles Barry. It seated 1,800. By 1981 most services were being held at the church of Saint Jude, and the two parishes were merged in 1982.
