The congregation was dissolved in 1972 and it was renamed the Elizabeth Sharpe Memorial Hall. It served as a meeting hall for the village. As of January 2008 the building is for sale with planning permission for conversion to domestic use.
Construction materials are a slate roof and stone walls.
The east elevation has been harled and has a decorative stone finial on the gable. There are two arched windows in this face which are more elongated than those in the south elevation. A third of each of these openings is also of wood. Black plastic covers the interior of the glass. Between the two windows is a stone memorial plaque and on either side of them are gravestones which have been placed up against the wall. To the north is a vestry, the east face of which is also harled. There is a crack along the join of the walls of the main body of the church and the vestry.
The south elevation is of coursed sandstone with horizontal tooling with tooled sandstone voussoirs and quoins. The three windows have clear glass and Y tracery. The bottom third of each frame is of painted white wood.
The west elevation is of bound rubble with horizontal tooling around the door and on the quoins. It has a square headed door which has been inserted in place of an earlier entrance, the voussoirs of which are still visible above the head of the current door. Towards the apex of the gable is a circular opening cut from two pieces of dressed sandstone. This is slightly out of alignment with the gable. The gable is crowned by a bellcote, which lacks a bell. This has an interesting dragon weathervane which has lost its head.
The north elevation is predominantly rubble built with sandstone window surrounds and quoins. There are two arched windows with clear glass which are identical to those in the east elevation. The easterly window surrounds are cut by the north vestry. Between these two windows is the outline of what appears to be a demolished brick addition with a blocked door in the middle. Debris from this demolition is still visible, suggesting that this was a recent event. The Listed Building Report for this structure would suggest that this was a boiler house.
The north vestry has a slate roof and is harled on all faces. Its east elevation has two square headed windows with sandstone jambs. There is a chimney on the northern gable end and below this a tall rectangular opening which is blocked. On the west elevation there is a single square headed door. The vestry was added to the church after its initial construction, probably in the early twentieth century. This is suggested by the cracked harling between the east elevation of the church building and the porch and by the manner in which the porch abuts the surrounds of the north east window in the main body of the church.
Graveyard
The graveyard is on relatively level ground and is located to the south and east of the church. There are memorials dating from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century, with many stones erected for men who fell during the First World War by their families.
