St Paul's Church, Dover, Roman Catholic church in Dover, England
St Paul's Church is a Catholic place of worship located on Maison Dieu Road in Dover, built in the Gothic Revival style. The building displays distinctive red brick construction combined with pointed arches and ornamental stone detailing.
The church was designed and built in 1868 by Edward W. Pugin following a generous donation that made a new Catholic building possible. Its construction reflected the growing need for Catholic worship space in the town.
The church functions as a gathering place for Catholics in Dover to celebrate their faith through regular worship. It holds significance as a focal point for the local Catholic community.
The building is located on Maison Dieu Road in central Dover, making it easy to find. Visitors can attend services in person or watch remotely if they prefer.
The building suffered a devastating arson attack in 1987 that destroyed its roof and original organ. A complete restoration in 1988 carefully returned it to working condition.
