St Faith’s church was built in 1861 and is a grade II listed building. For many years it was a place of rest and contemplation for inmates and staff at the asylum, later the hospital. It was closed in 1996. The church is currently still up for sale, and is showing increasing signs of vandalism, including the damaged roof, caused by a fire. www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=33434
