Chapel History[edit | edit source]
Preston St Paul, St Paul's Square was created a district chapel by 1823 from Preston St John Ancient Parish.
The first stone of St. Paul's Church was laid on Tuesday, 21st October, 1823. It was one of two churches ( the other Preston St Peter, Lancashire Genealogy) funded by money secured from parliament by the Bishop of Chester. Originally intended to build St Peter, petitioned by the Vicar of Preston who saw the need for two parishes. The church closed in the 1990's.[1]
