History
The church dates from 1844. It was designed by the architect James William Wild[1] and is sited on Staplers Road in Barton, Newport.
St Paul's was originally a district church in the parish of Whippingham, although serving the Barton area of Newport.[2]
It was built in a neo-Norman in style, with north and south aisles, an apse; there is a tower and spire at the west end of the south aisle. It was intended to accommodate 800 worshippers, including 200 free seats.[2]
The land was given by C. W. Martin and the church was consecrated on 1 February 1844.
