West front. Built in 1931 by the Butterley Company as part the first phase of the construction of New Ollerton as a mining town following the sinking of a new shaft in 1922, which led to a large influx of workers, particularly from the North East. The dedication to St Paulinus an early Northumbrian saint, reflects the north-east connection. It is built in an Italianate-romanesque idiom in bricks that were specially commissioned from the Butterley Company. Listed Grade II.
