A Little History
St. Paul’s was opened in 1831 just four years before the Royal William Victualling Yard was completed. Up until 1820 there had been very little development beyond the Royal Marine Barracks and although the ‘increase of buildings’ in the area was not as great in the early 1830s as was anticipated when the site for this building was chosen, development around ‘lower’ Durnford Street, as it was then known, soon stripped the chapel of its rural surroundings. St. Paul’s was completed at a cost of only £2,630. The Gothic style of St. Paul’s was opened for divine service on 5th July 1831 and consecration by the Bishop of Exeter on the 27th September 1833.
