Church of St Paul, West Street, Brighton - Brighton and Hove, City of (UA)

A church designed by Richard Cromwell Carpenter in 1846-8 and built by George Cheeseman. The tower and spire are by Richard Herbert Carpenter. The narthex, Fishermen's Institute (west end) and covered way are by George Frederick Bodley. Large fragments of stone and flint have fallen from the tower, which is adjacent to a busy shopping street. Temporary protection has been provided. There is extensive pigeon guano in the tower which is due to be removed but is hampering progress. Some other works have been carried out to other parts of the building.
