St Paul's Church was originally a subsidiary church to Brymbo's St Mary's Church, and opened in July 1889.

It wasn't officially licensed until November of that year, and wasn't actually consecrated until as late as January 1909, a few weeks before Broughton became a parish in its own right (or should that be rite?).

The first picture shows the northern side as seen from below the churchyard gate on Bryn Y Gaer Road.
