This fine church with its magnificent spire stands at the very heart of the County Town of Bedford. Surrounded on all sides by historic buildings, St. Paul’s serves both as a Parish Church and as the Civic and County Church of Bedfordshire. In addition to possessing many treasures from the medieval and Victorian era, the church is justly proud of its liturgical and musical tradition today. With its busy programme of daily services, the church seeks to be open for pilgrims and visitors alike, and to offer a haven of tranquillity at the centre of this busy borough.
