History

[edit]

The Church of St Paul was designed by John Oates, and built between 1823 and 1826.[1] The Church of St Matthew in Wilsden, built in 1826, and demolished in 1975, was identical to St Pauls in Shipley being designed by the same architect.[2] Initially, the church and the funds for it were approved under the Million Act, with a projected cost of £7,961, but with alterations cost in the region of £12,000 (equivalent to £1,244,000 in 2023) by 1825/1826.[3][4]

The organ was installed in 1892, being built by J. Binns of Leeds. The organ is recognised as being of national interest, and is registered by the British Institute of Organ Studies (BIOS) with a grade II certificate.[5][6]

Parish and benefice

[edit]

The church is the parish church for St Pauls, Shipley, and is the only named church within the Benefice of St Paul's, Shipley.[7] Shipley St Paul's is one of 598 parishes in the Diocese of Leeds.[8] Historically, the parish was created as Shipley-cum-Heaton, but Heaton was created as a parish in ????

When the parish of St Pauls was created, it was in the Diocese of York. It moved into the Diocese of Ripon in 1835???? and then into the newly-created Diocese of Bradford in 1919. By ????, when a reform of the diocese's in Yorkshire took place, it was moved again into the Diocese of Leeds.

All are listed as reverend, apart from Susan Hope who was a reverend canon. Some vicars later became canons, but all were reverends during their tenure at Shipley apart from Hope.[9][12] Although the church was consecrated in November 1826, the first vicar was not appointed until 1828 as aparish council had not been convened. In the interim, the Reverend Richard Horsfall officiated until Thomas Newberry arrived in 1828.[13] Howarth's appointment was after the choir had made a musical video appeal for a new vicar.[14]
