St Paul's Church

St Paul's Church is a church building in Hooton designed in Victorian Gothic Revival style with red brick walls and stone decorations. The structure features timber framing elements and grey slate roofing that define its architectural character.

The building was constructed in 1862 during a period of religious expansion in the region. This church emerged as communities in Cheshire West and Chester grew during the 19th century.

The interior shows decorative stencil patterns in the Arts and Crafts style, complemented by stained glass windows created by artists like Kempe and Burne-Jones. These works shape how the space looks and feels today.

The building holds Grade II* listed status, meaning any structural repairs or modifications require special permissions. Visitors should check opening times and access arrangements in advance, as the church serves an active congregation.

Inside the church stands a three-manual organ built by James J. Binns of Leeds, a notable maker of musical instruments. This organ represents a fine example of organ craftsmanship from the period.
