The East window depicts the Risen Christ with angels and the inscription 'Thou art the King of Glory O Christ'. The window is dedicated as follows:- ' In memory of Hannah Bateman, Charlotte Bateman and Jane Bateman 1933'. Saint Paul's church Grange-over-Sands, is located in Crown Hill. It is an active parish church in the deanery of Windermere, the archdeaconry of Westmorland and Furness, and the diocese of Carlisle. Its benefice is united with those of St Mary, Allithwiate, St Mary and St Michael, Cartmel, St Peter, Field Broughton, St John the Baptist, Flookburgh, Grange Fell Church, Grange-Over-Sands, and St Paul, Lindale, to form the benefice of Cartmel Peninsula. The church has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building. In 1851 an appeal was opened by Sarah Anne Clarke from Liverpool to build a church in the town. This resulted in a church designed by J. Murray being built in 1852–53. This consisted of a nave, a short chancel, a porch, and a baptistry. The foundation stone was laid by the Earl of Burlington in October 1852, and the church was consecrated on 13 October 1853 by Rt Revd John Graham, Bishop of Chester. It was expanded by T. D. Barry of Liverpool by the addition of a north aisle in 1861, and a south aisle in 1867. The north aisle cost £662, and the south aisle £1, 180. In 1875 the chancel was lengthened, and an organ chamber was added. At this stage, the church was re-consecrated on 6 June 1876 by the Rt Revd Harvey Goodwin, Bishop of Carlisle. It became a parish church in its own right on 14 April 1884. A north porch was added in 1904. In 1912 it was planned to rebuild the church, but this was prevented by the First World War. After the war, the church was improved when the chancel and the south aisle were lengthened, and vestries and a south porch were added by Henry Paley of the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley in 1932–33. The interior of the church was re-ordered in the 1950s.
