St Paul's
Church is a grade II listed building situated in an
imposing position overlooking the village of Denholme.
Completed in 1846, it is constructed in the early
English style of architecture comprising of a seven
bay nave and lean to aisles, a Chancel and a vaulted
roof with ribs and bosses. It's on the market for
around £300,000 with planning permission for
conversion into one dwelling. If I had the money this
would make a great place to live.
NB Update on price : £170,000
(message from the present owner 8th August 2008)
One point to note is that the Church of England have
removed a lot of the valuable items with
English Heritage listed building consent These
comprise items such as the font, organ, bells and all
of the ground floor stained glass windows. you might
think that this is a good thing but searching the web
I found that the windows were for sale by auction!

Brief
description of the church
|
|
This Grade II listed church is sited between
Denholme House and the A629, one mile south of
Denholme, and stands within a rectangular churchyard.
Designed by JB Chantrell, it was constructed in 1846
from coarse Gritstone blocks under a grey stone roof.
The church remains very much as it was built, except
for a modern extension containing a lavatory. It
consists of a chancel (now vestry), north vestries,
nave, north and south aisles, west gallery and west
tower.
The church is redundant.
