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.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Rosalyn HilborneYou 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!

June,
Thank you both!
Martine,
Thank you both!
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.
