Church of St Paul, Rusthall
St Paul's Church was built in 1849 on the edge of Rusthall Common by William Nevill, 4th Earl of Abergavenny as part of his Nevill Park Estate. The church was designed by Henry Isaac Stevens. The building was financed by Henry Hardinge, 1st Viscount Hardinge because he was aware of Stevens' work in his native Derbyshire and wished to support him. Another architect, a local man named N. E. Stevens (no relation), was also involved in the design.
The church was built in a 13th-century (Early English Gothic) style as part of the Gothic revival movement. It was built out of local sandstone in a cruciform layout with a flat-roofed tower and belfry. It was then expanded in 1865 with an extra aisle and pews added and connected to the nave with a pointed arcade. In 1913 it was expanded again with a narthex porch added on the west side of the church.
