The value of the land at that time was £5, a considerable sum. The church conducted its first service on 5 April 1891 & services continued until the 1940s when numbers declined to see it close in 1947. It reopened in 1971, was refurbished, but numbers of parishioners declined again to see it close in 1999 only to reopen 6 months later on the threat of it being sold.
