History
The church of Saint Paul was constructed in 1859, designed by S.S. Teulon in an unusual style which attracted much criticism. The church was assigned an ecclesiastical district in 1860, taken from parts of the parishes of Saint John's, Hampstead and Saint Saviour's. The patron was the vicar of Hampstead. In 1940 the church was bombed and services were held in Saint Paul's School. In 1956 the parish was declared redundant and was united with the parish of Saint Mary the Virgin, Primrose Hill in August that year. The church of Saint Mary the Virgin became the parish church of the united parish, while Saint Paul's was demolished.
