The church was declared redundant in 1974 and is now in private hands. The churchyard contains the graves of two casualties from the 1914-18 war and 24 from the 1939-45 war, all of whom served with the air forces of the Commonwealth. Most are buried in a plot set aside for casualties from the nearby airfield at Wyton during the Second World War.
