ST. PAUL is a parish, 2½ miles from Penzance, in the western division, Penwith Hundred, and Penzance Union; it is situated on the coast of Mounts Bay. The church of St. Paul is an old stone building of granite in the Gothic style of architecture, has nave, three aisles, chancel, font, transept, and a square embattled tower surmounted with a turret, which is a conspicuous object at sea; the tower contains 3 bells. Within the church is the following inscription:—“The Spanyer burnt this church in the year 1595.” The living is a vicarage, worth £485 yearly, with residence, in the gift of the Lord Chancellor; the Rev. C. George R. Festing, M.A., is the incumbent. There is a National school for boys and girls, also a Sunday school held at the National school room. Trewoofe is a romantic valley which terminates at Lamorna Cove; on this estate are the remains of a triple entrenchment, in which there is a subterranean passage, which is said to have afforded concealment to a party of Royalists, who thus escaped the forces of Sir Thomas Fairfax. There is also a fine chalybeate spring. The population, in 1851, was 5,408; and the acreage is 3,433. The soil is rich loam; the subsoil is killas and granite. E. Ley, esq., and J. Carne, Esq., of Penzance, are chief landowners. There are charities of £10 yearly value.
Mousehole and Newlyn are villages here.
