The church was built 1829-31, architect John Oates, builder Joseph Kaye. A chancel was added in 1883. Its burial ground was closed by Act of Parliament in 1852 but burials actually continued until 1917. It closed as a place of worship in 1959, and after standing empty for many years was sold to Huddersfield Council in 1975 for conversion to a concert hall (St Paul's Hall) seating 400 people. It now forms part of the University of Huddersfield. Listed grade II (list entry 1231471). Source: 'Churches: A question of conversion', K Powell & C de la Hay, SAVE, 1987, p 93.
