Walsall St Paul in 1859

WALSALL (ST PAUL)  St. Paul's chapel, a handsome edifice in the Grecian style, was erected by the governors of the grammar school, who, having sold some mines under part of the land belonging to that establishment, in 1797, obtained an act of parliament for applying part of the purchase money to the erection of the chapel, which was completed in 1826:

The living is a perpetual curacy, in the patronage of the governors, who appoint the head master of the school to the office of minister; net income, £50.
