St Paulinus (Former), Main Road, St Paul’s Cray now Redeemed Christian Church of God
There are few medieval Pentecostal churches but this is one. It was the medieval parish church of St Paul’s Cray but was made redundant in 1977 and has been a centre for the elderly and offices before its current incarnation. Although heavily restored in 1856-61 it is at its heart a Saxon and Norman building.
