INTRODUCTION

The church of St. Paul’s was built on the side of a hill which overlooks the Aire valley, close to the village of Manningham, a couple of miles from the town of Bradford, under the shadow of the burgeoning Lilly Croft Mill. The architects designed the church with a magnificent spire which towers over the surrounding area like a beacon. Paid for by modest philanthropist John Hollings, it immediately established itself as a centre for village life.

A church is, of course, much more than the building, and this celebration must equally address the congregation and the people of Manningham as well as the church itself.
