Church in North Yorkshire, England

St Paul's Church is an Anglican church in Brompton-on-Swale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

The village is part of the parish of St Agatha's Church, Easby. Brompton did not have its own place of worship until 1838, when a chapel of ease was constructed. Half of the building was partitioned off as a schoolroom until 1872, when a new school was built behind the church. The church was Grade II listed in 1969.^[1] It was reordered in the 1990s, with the pews replaced by moveable seats.^[2]

It church is built of stone with a Welsh slate roof, and consists of a two-bay nave with a north porch, and a higher two-bay chancel with a south vestry. On the west gable is a bellcote with Baroque-style coping. The windows in the nave and the east window have Perpendicular tracery, while the other windows in the chancel have Y-tracery.^[1]^[3]
