St Paul's Church is in Scotforth, a suburb of Lancaster, Lancashire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1] It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Lancaster, the archdeaconry of Lancaster and Morecambe, and the diocese of Blackburn.[2] The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner described it as a "strange building" and "an anachronism, almost beyond belief".[3]
