Birmingham, St Paul
St Paul's Church, built by Roger Eykyn in 1779, is a grade I listed gem of Classical architecture. It is situated in the centre of Birmingham's only remaining Georgian square, within walking distance of the main-line railway stations. The main focus of the interior is a painted window depicting 'The Conversion of St Paul', executed by Francis Eginton from an original painting by the American artist Benjamin West.
The church retains the original elegant box pews. The walls display memorials to Birmingham worthies including a bust of the architect William Hollins, who made designs for the Royal Mint at St Petersberg.
St Paul's is variously known as 'The Jewellers' Church' (because of its close association with the famous Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham) and 'The Church of Matthew Boulton and James Watt' who helped to found the church and occupied pews therein.
St Paul's has an excellent acoustic, comparable with that of St John's Smith Square in London. The evening service is conducted according to the Book of Common Prayer.
