The church of St Paul is of late Georgian build, and is located in a large extended churchyard. There are no early features but it does include box pews in the west gallery.
The present church was built wholly of brick in 1829 in Georgian style The interior was restored at the end of the 19thC.
Isycoed was formerly regarded as a part of Holt and it may not have become a separate parish until 1827. There was a church (or chapel) on the site in 1718 and this was superseded by a new structure in 1742, but it is unclear whether there was a medieval structure here - currently there is no evidence for one.
The old church was demolished and a completely new church built in 1829 by John Butler at a cost of œ700.
The interior of the present church was altered at some point in the later 19thC, probably c.1871. The box pews were removed from the nave, a new roof replaced the old and the interior was re-painted. The south-west vestry door was moved from its position in the vestry east wall to its present position in the north wall. The north and south wall doorways were bricked up, the chancel given a new oak wagon ceiling, and it was refloored along with the nave. Presumably at this time, the pulpit and reading desks were moved from their positions to either side of the chancel, where the longitudinal stalls and organ are now located. Prior to this alteration, a stove was located in a central position in the north aisle.
