St Paul's Church, Bury

St Paul's Church exhibits Gothic Revival features with a three-stage west tower, diagonal buttresses, and geometric tracery on aisle windows and transept walls.

Built between 1838 and 1842 by architect John Harper from York, the church was commissioned on land provided by the 13th Earl of Derby.

The interior houses a late 19th-century stained glass window depicting St Paul's conversion alongside mosaic panels illustrating scenes from his life.

The building underwent substantial changes after a 1987 fire, including re-roofing at a lower height and removal of the original clerestory structure.

The church contains thirteen World War I soldier graves and one World War II airman grave in its churchyard, marked by Commonwealth War Graves.
