There was a chapel at Quarndon long before the Reformation [see SMR 28501]. This church was taken down in 1874, with the exception of part of the tower. The new church, dedicated to St Paul, was built in 1872. It is a handsome edifice of stone that is built in the Gothic style. It comprises chancel, nave, north and south aisles, a south porch and a tower, surmounted by a spire, at the southwest corner. The ceiling of the chancel is panelled wood, with carved bosses at the intersections, and the floor is laid with ornamental tiles. The nave and aisles are fitted with open benches to seat 366. The pulpit and desk are of carved oak. (1) A grade II listed parish church that was built in 1872-4 by Giles & Brookhouse in a mid 13th century style.
