Churches of the British Isles

St Paul's Church lies on the northern side of Friars Street, west of St Mary. It was built in 1825, and was originally named St Mary's Episcopal Chapel. It served as a mortuary chapel for the cemetery in Friars Street, and was originally a simple structure in late Perpendicular style, with unusually large windows. In 1849, the chapel was converted to a suburban parish church, dedicated to St Paul, and the old chapel became a long south transept of the enlarged church.

Northgate Methodist Church is on the southern side of Saltisford Road, between Joyce Pool and the Priory Road roundabout. A Wesleyan chapel was built in Chapel Street in about 1830 but sold in 1834. Two subsequent chapels, in Market Street and Bowling Green Street were replaced in 1893 by this building, near the old Northgate. The new chapel was in the Gothic style in red and yellow brick with stone dressings. Behind it are chapel rooms that were added in 1960-1961.

Warwick School Chapel lies on the southern side of the Myton Road which connects Warwick to Leamington Spa, and comes in near Warwick Castle. The independent school is reputedly the third-oldest surviving in England (King's School, Canterbury is the first), dating back to perhaps the mid-tenth century. The chapel was added between 1879-1893, when the school moved to its present site from the old college of the Vicars Choral in St Mary's churchyard.
