Although, as of 2024, it has entries on at least two websites, here and here, according to Google Maps it's now permanently closed. A 2020 Geograph entry described it as "disused" at that time. In the autumn of 2024 Ken Roddam advised of a local newspaper report that the church is likely to be demolished. In May 2025 another news report repeated again the councils intention of demolishing it and replacing it with housing.
