The stained glass in the south wall of the chancel is by Clayton and Bell, and dates from about 1890. The church was declared redundant on 6 August 2008 and was approved for civic, cultural or community use on 13 August 2009. In 2010 there were plans to convert it into a 35-room care home for the elderly. As of 2014 the church is being refurbished into a care home. It will be known as Andrews Court Care Home. Although most of the exterior remains the same there are noticeable alterations. The doorway arches have been lowered to accommodate additional windows to the upper floor. (en)
