2019-01-26 - Updated by John McCraney, who gave this as the source of the information: Personal visits to the church over a period of years. \"Cruciform mortar and timber <br>Tudor-type church with deep transepts--the north a chapel, the south floor raised to pew height with two choir vestries behind two choir pews and Hammond console across the width--façade of organ case with pipes on top of the ceiling over the vestries--central flat gothic topped with small rectangular flat, to each side--about 10-14 pipes in façade, the longest at least 8 feet--organ apparently replaced in the 1940s or 50s with a Hammond and vestry rooms below, leaving only the façade. The building was demolished after local churches had taken windows, pews, and other furnishings. The façade was still present a few days before demolition. A real loss.\"<br> <br> -Database Manager
