locally,and as a nation, we are paying scant attention to the necessity to preserve good examples of the architecture of this period.

I would, if the owners of the church would accept, be happy to put a money offer on the table with a strict covernant that I will not demolish the building, but look to revelopment.

Being in residential development, I think the property would be ideally suited.

Infact, at the very moment, I am converting a old chapel, and will be happy to show anybody the development.

Rawmarsh methodist church in Rotherham was in a similar situation until a new Vicar came. Its amazing whats been done and how many different organizations use it. Cubs, scouts, Brownies, Gymnastics, Keep Fit, weight watchers, and many other organizations. He had the church split into a upper and lower level. The upper is still a church although is used for meetings. The lower for organisations. I strongly advise using it as a business model.

Please consider all alternative users for the premises and don't just knock it down to replace it with yet another faceless rectangle.
