More about this scene

St Paul's church is a very fine building indeed, constructed in an Italianate style with contrasting bands of red and white sandstone and finished with an unusual octagonal spire. It was built between 1858 and 1862 for Mr R C Naylor, owner of Hooton Hall (now demolished) as a tribute to his wife. The columns and gate house to the right of the war memorial formed the main entrance to Hooton Hall, the grounds of which are now a golf course.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."- Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen
