These were taken in 2012. I had my eye on the building for some time, but it had a fence around it, was locked up so far as I could see, and worst of all the building stands right next to a busy junction next to the railway station. There are always lots of people about! A good clue for would be Urbex explorers - look at the grass and the bushes. If someone is going into a building, they will in all likelihood disturb these. Flattened grass is usually a sign that we can get in...
I didn't like this place at all. It felt distinctly creepy. A building surveyor had fallen to his death a few years ago whilst examining the inside of the tower. Also, the place if heaving with pigeons. It stinks, and the floor is missing. I won't be going back, but here are a few shots...

View from the front bit where the priest would stand. Stage? I am not strong on my religious terminology! That said, on the right under the pink towel is the font. On its side. |
|
Rotten as a pear. Floor removed to expose the dwarf walls. |
|
Wide open. But well hidden from the road. It has since been secured. It looked as though the building was receiving regular visits from somebody. |

This church is sort of 'fake old', I have no idea of when it was built, but arched doorways and reinforced concrete stairs? The clock faces have '1988' on them, but I seem to recall that the clock was refurbished back then. |

Note the railway station clock tower to the left. |
|
While the Earth Remaineth... the church falleth into disrepair? |
|
A loose fence panel. And we're in. |
|
If ever a building felt hostile. I didn't like this one. |
|
...and I don't think it liked me. |
WW its brilliant inthere. All those memories activities and happenings. Id love to go inside. I love the what looks to be an order of service you found! So did the balcony collapse when you was there?? I love spooky eery history ridden places. It wS a sad shame about David Humphrays, the church didnt like him either. RIP
