St. Paul's Church, West Smethwick, South Staffordshire, 1858. Creator: Unknown

St. Paul's Church, West Smethwick, South Staffordshire, 1858. This church is situated in one of the densely-populated iron districts of South Staffordshire, near to the works of the noted firm of Messrs. Chance (Brothers) and Co. glass-manufacturers. It is executed for the use of the working classes, and designated as the Working-Man's Church...The church is designed in the Early English style of architecture...Accommodation is provided for 800 persons, exclusive of children: 250 sittings to be appropriated as free. The church is remarkable for its simple yet picturesque appearance. It is constructed with white Stourbridge bricks, with Bath stone dressings, and has a pleasing effect in the landscape, being erected on a slightly elevated position. The works have been carried out by Mr. John Parnell, of Rugby, from the designs of Mr. G. B. Nichols, of the firm of Nichols and Morgan, architects, West Bromwich at the very small outlay of £2500 - raised solely by contributions from the leading gentry of the district'.
