St Paul's Church is a Chapel of Ease to St Mary's parish. It is a handsome, stone-fronted building, erected in 1822, and is situated in George Street. It has a portico, with four large fluted columns, supporting an elegant cupola, in which there is but one bell. The interior is light and neatly pewed, and has spacious free galleries for the use of strangers and the poor, the seats on the ground being the only ones which are let for he benefit of the minister. The Rev. Charles Armstrong B.A. is the incumbent, and the Rev. George Cuthbert the officiating curate.
This is an extra-parochial chapel, pleasantly situated on Standard Hill, opposite the top of Rutland Street, without the boundaries of the "county of the town". It was built by subscription on 1808, at a cost of nearly £13,000, including the expense of an Act of Parliament, which the subscribers were obliged to obtain for its erection, in consequence of their being strenuously opposed by the vicar and two rectors of Nottingham, who have no control over this place of worship, which stands on the extra-parochial ground that once belonged to the castle. It is a neat, brick structure cased with stone, and the doors and windows are in the Gothic style. The tower, which is low, contains but one bell. The interior is neatly fitted up, and has commodious galleries over the side aisles. The Rev. Henry Bell B.A. is the incumbent.

It was erected under an Act of Parliament, 1 & 2 of William IV, and the patronage vested in trustees. The first stone was laid April 23rd 1840, and the church was consecrated October 13th 1841. It will seat 1,200 persons, and cost upwards of £10,000, raised with the endowment of voluntary subscriptions. The patronage is vested in four trustees, viz. The Very Reverend J.H. Brown D.D., Dean of Ely; John Pemberton Plumtre Esq.; St. Ramsden Esq.; and Fras. Wellford Esq. The Rev. Thomas Mosse McDonald is incumbent.
This church is on Leen Side, and is a district church for the south side of the parish of St Mary. The first stone was laid August 9th 1843 by Earl Manvers. It is a stone structure in the early English style, with lancet shaped windows, with nave, chancel, side aisles and south porch. It is built to accommodate about 8000 persons, at a cost of about £4,000, including the purchase, and the enclosure of the site. The boards of the Nottinghamshire Church Building Sociey, the Church Commissioners, and the Incorporated Church Building Society, voted sums of £500, £800 and £500 respectively towards its erection, and on £1,000 being raised for the endowment, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners will raise the endowment to £150 a year. The seats will be free to all inabitants, of which the district assigned comprises a population of about 3,500. The patronage is vested in the Bishop of the Diocese for the time being, Earl Manvers having waived his claim.
