The church of St. Paul, Bentley, Mores Lane, was opened in 1880 as a chapel of ease to serve the north end of the parish. The vicar, Charles Belli, gave £20,000, and Octavius Coope, M.P., of Rochetts £2,000, to build and endow it, while the site, on Bentley common, was given by Christopher J. H. Tower of Weald Hall.
The church, designed by Ernest Lee in the Early English style, stands beside a wood near Navestock Side. It has five bells. The plate includes a cup and paten of 1879 and a flagon of 1880, all of silver.
