Comment: This needs to be cut down substantially, as currently it's really just an advert for the church. Focus only on the history - remove everything else.We'd also require more secondary sources, so for example archaeological research/building analysis, historic england, etc. Qcne (talk) 15:03, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
St. Paul's Church, Weston super Mare
[edit]St. Paul’s Church, Weston-super-Mare is a Church of England parish church in the town of Weston-super-Mare (commonly referred to as ‘Weston’) located in the county of North Somerset in the South West of England. There are approximately 230 members on the electoral roll[1]. The church is part of the Church of England diocese of Bath and Wells and the local deanery of Locking.
History
[edit]The story of St Paul’s began as the town of Weston-super-Mare grew from a small fishing village into a large Victorian seaside resort.[1]
The original worshipping community started meeting in 1897 in an iron building on the present site, consecrated by the Bishop of the time to support the rapidly growing developments along the coast to the south of Weston.[1]
The current church building was built between 1911-1912 with the foundation stone being laid by bishop of Bath and Wells George Wyndham Kennion on 29th July 1911.The church building (specifically the nave and chancel) suffered extensive damage as a result of bombing, during World War 2, in 1941.[2]
The church enjoyed rapid growth in its early years with a period of further significant change and expansion in the post-war period.
A church hall building was constructed directly north adjacent to the church building c.1971.[1]
