Everthing had been vandalised before the fire, there was a fantastic marble pulpit (you can see it on the 4th picture in this topic) that had basically been beaten to death! There is nothing left, it will be demolished at some time.

I for one am glad this building is going to be demolished now. I lived at 1 Merton from 1986 to 2008 and it was the bain of my life. When I first moved in it was still used as a church. But after the minister went back to America it went into a state of repair. Kids broke in all the time. There were fires so we were always calling police and fire brigade out. Someone bought it and was turning it into houses and flats. At last I thought. But he only did some of the work and cleared off and left the site an eyesore. It was dangerous with slates falling off the roof and the gutter hung unsafe from the tower.After many phone calls to the council they slapped an order on it to tell the owner to get it cleared up but he never did. So the council cleared it and sent him the bill. The cheeky so and so told the council it was not cleared properly. We tried to sell our house and no one was interested because of that church. In the end out of desperation to get away from it we sold it to someone who was going to rent. But we lost a lot of money on it.

Hi!
I know this is a bit of an old thread. . .
I'm looking for any/all pics and info on the church. I'd love to buy it and restore the facade and put a tiny home on its grounds to live in. I have doubts the owner would sell (an architect firm enquired in 2011 and he didn't sell) so the more info I have the more likely I'd be able to make it work.
Any and all info/pics welcome smile
