September 2009: Brought to the attention of SCT by local planner, this building is no longer in ecclesiastical use and is marketed for sale.
December 2009: External inspection suggests that the church is vacant but in good condition. Local planners confirm that the building is no longer in use, although the adjoining hall is used for various functions.
November 2011: A member of the public advises the building was sold recently. The adjoining hall remains is use for a dance/exercise club.


13 April 2014: External inspection finds the building remains disused, some dampness and vegetation growth is evident. The site is currently being marketed for sale through agents Miller Stewart.
23 March 2015: The building does not appear to be under marketing at this time.
