TIPTON (ST PAUL) : The church dedicated to St. Paul, and to which has been assigned an ecclesiastical district including Tipton-Green and a population of 7000, was erected in 1839, at a cost of £3700, of which £2000 were granted by the commissioners, and the remainder raised by subscription; it contains 1300 sittings, of which 770 are free in consideration of a grant of £300 from the Incorporated Society.
