The Chapel of St. Paul at Clumber Park was commissioned by Henry Pelham-Clinton, 5th Duke of Newcastle in 1864. It was designed by the architect Thomas Chambers Hine. This chapel was never completed and locally became known as the Pigeon Coop. Henry Pelham-Clinton, 7th Duke of Newcastle demolished it and commissioned the new chapel of St. Mary the Virgin in 1886. This was built by George Frederick Bodley and completed by 1889 at a cost of £30,000 (£2,458,490 as of 2012) [1].
The cruciform church has a 180 ft spire which rises out of an octagonal corona. It is in the second Pointed style. The interior nave is plain but the chancel is decorated with carvings. The stained glass is all by Charles Eamer Kempe.
The organ was installed in 1889 by Gray & Davison. Apart from an overhaul by Harrison and Harrison in 1979 it has remained unaltered.
