I'm going to do my best to reveal nothing about where this church is located so sorry if I'm somewhat vague.
The church was built in the 70s and soon after problems began to appear. At first the bell tower had to be taken down and the hall leaked. Then, in the 00s structural damage due to its design and being so badly built made the church dangerous and it had to be closed. There's been planning permission for nearly 10 years to do something with the church but nothing has been done. The problems stem from the roof which is at an extreme angle. The church has leaked since it was built and it gradually became more and more dangerous, with things getting even worse when lead was repeatedly stolen from the roof. The church was suddenly closed, with large "Danger" signs being posted on all the entrances.
I went to a local primary school and we visited the church often, especially at Christmas, Easter and Harvest festival. I was friends with the vicar's son too. I can remember services there, and Sunday school. One of my earliest memories of performing music were also there, on my recorder and with the school choir with the organ, which sounded lovely if I remember correctly. Before school I went to toddler group there, although I remember only the vaguest of details of that. Until I saw this posted I forgot the sheer amount of time I spent in the church, even though I was never particularly religious!
The congregation still exists and uses somewhere else for their services. There have been many campaigns for various things to be done with the church, the most popular seeming to be knock it down and build a new one, but money has always been an issue and as far as I know there are no plans to do anything with it for the foreseeable future. I heard rumours the organ was still there but didn't think they'd have left it. It's over 100 years old and it's a real shame to see it abandoned.
