Add PhotosA projected rebuilding of the church in 1852-53 to a design by J Elliott was not carried out. Instead, it was restored in 1861-62 by G Draper (BN 9 p341). In the nave the roof was stripped of plaster and the galleries were removed, preparatory to the installation of new seating (CB 1863 pp74-75). There is some question about the extent of work on the chancel, since although the reference in BN 9 suggests it was an addition, that in CB states it was restored and lengthened, as opposed to being newly added. The structure as it was after completion of the work was longer than the nave and almost as wide as nave and aisle together. Unspecified further work was carried out in 1879-80 at a cost of £500 (KD 1899), but in later years the depopulated centre of the city was over-provided with churches and this one was demolished in 1960. All that is known of its fittings is that the font was ‘Perp'.
