The church has been officially closed since my first photo of it three years earlier Image, and permission was recently given to demolish the modern (1975) part of the building. This view shows the wall construction - stone outer skin, brick inner skin, with polystyrene cavity insulation. The spire which is listed grade 2 (list entry 1255563) will remain. The 19th century church of which it was part would have extended into the area occupied by the contractor's plant in this view.
