This was the "new church" which was erected to replace the Gothic style older one. It was built c 1979 at a cost of £ 135,000.00 but the plan proved to include design defects and the worshippers went back to the older church Image] It was used for a time as a youth club but to bring the structure up to order, it has been estimated that it would take a sum in excess of £1m to cover the cost of renovations, so this building may be designated for demolition. Anyway to me the older church looks better
