St Paul’s Church, Dosthill is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England in Dosthill, Staffordshire, England.
History
The foundation stone was laid on 5 October 1870 by Mr. Farmer. The church was built between 1870 and 1872 to designs of the Birmingham architect Edward Holmes. George Lilley of Ashby-de-la-Zouch was chosen as the contractor. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Worcester on 2 April 1872.
Part of the burial ground was not ready until 1873, and the Bishop of Worcester returned on 22 September 1873 to consecrate it. It contains the war graves of a West Yorkshire Regiment private of World War I and a Royal Marines sergeant of World War II.
