St. Denys’ Church, Pailton- The Building
St Denys’ Church was built in 1884, stands in its own grounds near the centre of the village and seats approximately 90 people.
It was originally built as a 'Chapel of Ease' to the mother church of St. Edith's Monks Kirby.
The Church is a small Victorian building of Romanesque style, made of brick, with sandstone and limestone dressings and has a plain tile roof. Inside this simple but much-loved building, there is a single Nave coupled with an Apsidal Chancel area.
It is Grade 2 listed.
Since 1974 it has been a District Church with all functions and responsibilities being transferred to its own Church Council !
and operates completely independently from St Edith’s.
St Denys’ is licensed for weddings but has no graveyard!
