New Church of St. Paul, Rusthall, near Tunbridge Wells, 1850. 'The style is early English. The walls are very thick, and are constructed entirely of the stone of the country, from Mr. Powell's quarry. It is capable of containing 430 adults and children...The tower is 23 feet square externally, 78 feet high, and is supported by very bold splayed piers and arches, with the addition of shafts and mouldings to that arch only which faces the east...The octagonal stone turret terminates under the upper stage, and the belfry has four moulded lancelets opening on each face, with corbelled parapet. The roofs are covered with Staffordshire tiles...The architect of this handsome church is Mr. Henry J. Stevens, of Derby, who has been assisted in the superintendence by Mr. N. E. Stevens, of Rusthall. The builder is Mr. Constable, of Penshurst'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
