St Paul's Anglican Church, Queen Street and Wellington Street, built 1845-47. The Regimental Church of the Princess of Wales Own Regiment.

St Paul's churchyard is the oldest cemetery in Kingston with the oldest known plot used in 1785. In 1825 there was a fracas when the Anglican Archdeacon, George Stuart Okill, announced that Presbyterians could no longer bury their dead here, just when a Presbyterian burial was about to take place.
