St. Paul's Church in Hyson Green, Nottingham, used to be a church for the Church of England. It is no longer a church building.
History of St. Paul's Church
The church was designed by an architect named Henry Isaac Stevens. It first opened its doors in 1844. Bishop John Kaye of Lincoln officially opened the church.
Later, between 1889 and 1891, another part of the church was added. This new section, called the chancel, was designed by architect Gilbert Smith Doughty.
In 1994, the people who went to St. Paul's Church joined another church nearby. This was St. Stephen's Church, Hyson Green. After that, St. Paul's Church closed its doors as a place of worship. The building was then changed into homes for people to live in.
The Church Organ
St. Paul's Church had a special musical instrument called a pipe organ. It had two keyboards, which are called "manuals." This organ was built by Charles Lloyd.
The organ was first played in a public concert on December 19, 1865. A famous musician named Henry Smart performed the opening recital.
