Saint Day parish church (roofless and de-comissioned)

Saint Day parish church (roofless and de-comissioned)
Built in the 1830s and abandoned in the 1950s when the roof fell in. Now a shell but still impressive.
Saint Day is situated on a slight granite rise and this church can be seen from miles around.
Today there is a modest church across the road for the small number of C of E worshipers adapted from a terraced cottage, and a small chapel for the equally few practicing Methodists.
150 years ago there were many Methodist and/or Wesleyan chapels of different and often fiercely contested denominations (Wikipedia has a 34 page list of these!) serving the extensive mining communities here; nearly everyone belonged to one sect or another (vastly outnumbering the Anglicans).
Next to my parents house is a very large (disused) church for the Primitive Methodists; its most recent incarnation was a (very noisy!) workshop for agricultural machinery.

Not one I can remember seeing, interesting how such buildings get abandoned.

No options, Roger. When the roof fell in there were no funds to repair it. That, as they say, was that!

Today there is a small church across the road for the small number of C of E worshipers adapted from a terraced cottage, and a small chapel for the equally few practicing Methodists.

I'm going to add this comment to my notes if you don't mind!

Can't remember if I mentioned it already but I saw St Day on TV a couple of weeks ago on a property programme. Looked nice :)

Andy Rodker club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thank you, Rosa.
You did mention it and I meant to ask my parents when I spoke to them last weekend but I forgot. I'll call this weekend and ask if they saw it!
Actually when I last lived there (2010) there was something similar on TV and a property in Saint Day and it was interesting but the programme had been made before the crash and was frankly ridiculous on all fronts by 2010!

It was a repeat Andy, so could have been the same one.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Possibly. I do recall seeing other Cornish properties featured, all wildly inflated in price but they were repeats even in 2010 and were based on pre-crash prices, demand, incomes, expectations, etc - all soon to be dashed!

It look quite intact from there!
With the vast number of chapels and churches in GB it's little wonder so many are decommissioned. I remember Kirkby Stephen YHA in a former chapel...
These days even Catholic and Protestant churches in Germany are given up as parishes are merged.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Gudrun club
This one would still have been in use but the roof collapsed so it wasn't a question of lack of interest in the church.
Please zoom in from the map and you will see the roofless shell!
