St Paul's Church, Upton Cross

A view of the east end of Image from the roadway. "The defining feature of the building is its unusual apsidal east end which faces onto the main street" http://www.historic-cornwall.org.uk/cisi/upton_cross/CISI_Upton_Cross_report.pdf - this shows that apse. "St Paul's was built in the 19th Century as a daughter Church to St Melor’s, Linkinhorne, to serve the mining community in the Caradon Hill district. The Rev. Poland was instrumental in establishing the church when the mining community refused to walk the 3 miles to St Melor’s! And who can blame them!" http://www.achurchnearyou.com/upton-cross-st-paul/ . I suppose that the more traditional term would be a chapel of ease.
