Listed Building record TR 15 NE 11 - Church of St Paul without the walls, Canterbury

Summary

Parish church, possibly formerly a late pre-Conquest private chapel, rebuilt in the 14th century and restored in 1856. The medieval church had a West tower, nave and chancel together with a South aisle and chapel: 13th century work is clearly evident in what is now the arcade between the North aisle and nave. In 1856 Sir George Gilbert Scott added a three-bay South aisle and South vestry, turning the former South aisle and chapel into the nave and chancel in a style matching that of the (now) North aisle. He also rebuilt the East end of what is now the North aisle, and refenestrated the church, refurnished it and rebuilt the top of the tower. Flint and stone rubble, the work by Scott having neat knapped flint; freestone dressings. Clay tiled roofs. North-west tower, nave, chancel, North-East organ chamber, North and South aisles, South vestry.
