St Paul's Church is a Church of England proprietary chapel in Hadley Wood, London.
History
Albert Kingwell, agent for Charles Jack, arranged for the conveyance from the Duchy of Lancaster of an acre of land on which to build the church and was also the architect. He also presented a stained window to the church. It was a condition of the transfer of the land that a church be built within three years. The building was originally known as the Church Room, only becoming St Paul's Church in 1936. The church opened in 1911, and was initially an offshoot of Christ Church, Cockfosters. It became independent in 2000.
Present day
St Paul's Church is within the Conservative Evangelical tradition of the Church of England, and it has passed resolutions to reject the ordination of women.
