built in 1858, refurbished in 2008

The church of St. Paul, Dale Hall, was built in 1828–31 as a chapel of ease to the church of St. John the Baptist. The site for the new church, to the north of Newcastle Street, was given by William Adams of Cobridge, a patron of the mother church, and at that time the new church lay in almost open country.

The original parsonage was a house on the north side of Newcastle Street (west of Ellgreave Street) which was purchased from John Brindley who had had it built in the early 1770's.
It was sold in 1858 and a new house was built on the south side of Newcastle Street - in the late 1950's this was sold to Heath Filtration Ltd.
A house on Porthill Bank was purchased in 1958 for the vicarage.
Currently (2012) the rectory is in Heyburn Crescent close to the present day church.
