Inscription.
To accommodate the increasing population of Red River Settlement, Reverend David Jones of the Church Missionary Society built a second Anglican church here at Image Plain. It opened for worship on 30 January 1825, with a congregation of mixed races and faiths. Known as the Middle Church because of its location between St John's and St Andrew's on the Red River it was consecrated St. Paul's on 6 January 1853.

Damaged by flood in 1826 and 1852, it was first replaced by a large structure in 1844, and the present edifice between 1876 and 1880.
