St Paul's Church overlooks the River Dee in Boughton, Chester, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building,[1] and, before its closure, was an Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of that diocese.[2] In the series Buildings of England, the architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner stated that he regarded it as "the boldest of Douglas' church designs".[3]
It ceased to be a church in 2016, when it was closed by the Diocese, as it was found to be in very bad repair.[4] It was named by the Victorian Society as one of the Top Ten Heritage Buildings at Risk for 2016.[5]
