St Paul's Church, Gothic Revival church in Colwyn Bay, Wales.
St. Paul's Church is a Gothic Revival building in Colwyn Bay featuring a cruciform design built from limestone with red sandstone accents. The structure displays tall lancet windows and a prominent central tower that dominate its exterior.
The church was built in several phases starting with the nave between 1887 and 1888. The chancel was added from 1894 to 1895, and the tower was completed in 1911.
The carved reredos shows scenes from the Supper at Emmaus and the Annunciation alongside saint figures created between 1934 and 1935. These artworks reflect the craftsmanship that went into decorating the church during the early 20th century.
The church functions as an active Anglican parish church within the Diocese of St. Asaph and holds regular services. Visitors can attend these gatherings to experience the ongoing religious life of the congregation.
The interior contains stained glass windows designed by Horace Wilkinson and an organ originally built by Peter Conacher and Son in 1888. These elements show the quality of artists and craftsmen involved in the church's original furnishings.
