"St Paul's Church is a handsome structure of mixed architecture, in Penn Road, built in 1835, at a cost of £7000, most of which was given by the Rev William Dalton, BD, the first and present patron and incumbent. His lady presented the church with a fine toned organ in 1836. The church has 1400 sittings, a good library, a tower and one bell.[From History, Gazetteer and Directory of Staffordshire, William White, Sheffield, 1851]
The living is a vicarage, which will be in the patronage of the Bishop of Lichfield after the decease of the present incumbent and his lady. The Rev JW Brown is the curate."
St Paul's church was built of stone, in the Gothic style, and consists of a chancel, nave, west porch and a turret containing one bell. The font was presented to the church in 1894 by General Kent in memory of his wife.
St Paul's Church was demolished in 1960 to make way for Wolverhampton Ring Road.
