History

The church dates from 1844. It was designed by the architect James William Wild and is sited on Staplers Road in Barton, Newport.

St Paul's was originally a district church in the parish of Whippingham, although serving the Barton area of Newport.

It was built in a neo-Norman in style, with north and south aisles, an apse; there is a tower and spire at the west end of the south aisle. It was intended to accommodate 800 worshippers, including 200 free seats.

The land was given by C. W. Martin and the church was consecrated on 1 February 1844.
