St Paul's Church, Worthing, Grade II* listed Anglican church in Chapel Road, Worthing, England.
Description
St Paul's Church is an Anglican place of worship in Chapel Road featuring yellow brick walls and Greek Revival design elements throughout. The east facing facade displays a three-section pedimented portico with Tuscan columns that gives the structure its most distinctive appearance.
History
The building was constructed in 1812 under architect John Rebecca's design to serve as a chapel for the growing community. It was elevated to parish church status in 1893 after the town had expanded significantly.
Culture
The building carries the memory of a royal visit when Queen Charlotte brought her daughters here and left the family coat of arms as a mark of recognition. This connection to the monarchy continues to shape how locals view the place.
Practical
The site now operates as a café and community venue open to the public after comprehensive renovation work completed in 2012. You can experience the space through various events and gatherings including weddings, concerts, and community activities.
Did you know?
During the 1890s expansions, the building underwent an unusual architectural change when the chancel was relocated from the traditional east end to the west end. This surprising relocation was a practical solution to accommodate the spatial needs of the growing congregation.
