"St Paul's Church is a handsome structure of mixed architecture, in Penn Road, built in 1835, at a cost of £7000, most of which was given by the Rev William Dalton, BD, the first and present patron and incumbent. His lady presented the church with a fine toned organ in 1836. The church has 1400 sittings, a good library, a tower and one bell.
The living is a vicarage, which will be in the patronage of the Bishop of Lichfield after the decease of the present incumbent and his lady. The Rev JW Brown is the curate."
[From History, Gazetteer and Directory of Staffordshire, William White, Sheffield, 1851]
