Development History
August 2007: External inspection reveals the building is now a ruin, only the external walls and a lantern type tower remain. The shell of the building may still be structurally sound but is in need of action to consolidate and protect it.
March 2009: A member of the public contacts SCT to advise that the condition of this church is still the same.
12 June 2014: External inspection finds the building heavily encroached by vegetation, however all walls appear to remain intact.
17 April 2019: External inspection finds no significant change from previous visit. Roofless ruin with encroaching vegetation. Bellcote, walls and wallheads intact.
