Supervisor comments
Nov 2019: At present the church building needs major renovation and repairs estimated to cost in excess of
£500,000. It is considered economical, by the Methodist Mission to move out of the church, with the
falling membership, income and Ministerial support.

There are no plans to continue worshiping in the church beyond the end of 2021. It is increasingly likely that the Christian presence at this location may be lost, in the years to come. The fate of the Memorial Window and the Plaque is equally uncertain.
