re: St James Church, St James Rd, Church (AKA "Church Kirk Church")
There has been a church there for more than 1400 years,there's lots of graves also.i knew there was money problems but I didn't see demolition on the cards....
.... I really hope they don't.

re: St James Church, St James Rd, Church (AKA "Church Kirk Church")
as the saying goes if you dont use it you loose it
less and less need for churches because less and less folk buy into religion , well Christianity at least. mosques are on the increase though so its not all bad news for religion in general

The church is a grade II* (higher status than grade II) listed building so I'd be surprised if it was demolished.

re: St James Church, St James Rd, Church (AKA "Church Kirk Church")
If that is the case hopefully it will be saved. It is awful to see such lovely buildings falling into ruins. Far better to use them for some other use than to stand empty for years and years. I know of a couple that have been turned into apartments.

Yesterday's Daily Telegraph carried an advert inviting people to subscribe to an organization to "Help save the UK's rural churches for just £30".

re: St James Church, St James Rd, Church (AKA "Church Kirk Church")
I want first refusal on the stained glass windows I mentioned in this thread:-
http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...irk-65612.html Or perhaps they could sell them to someone who can afford them

If it goes, it is highly unlikely to be a pub as most of those in that vicinity have been shut.
