 Edinburgh Town Council received £16,000 from the North British Railway Company for the purpose of reconstructing the building, or building a substitute.The apse and the choir were reconstructed, with the same east-west orientation as the original, in the 1870s as the hall to a new church designed by John Lessels on Jeffrey Street at the corner with Chalmers Close, north of the High Street, and which, under the name Trinity Apse, formerly housed the Brass Rubbing Centre, under the auspices of the City of Edinburgh Council.The rebuilt Apse, together with carved stone fragments and the boundary wall, is registered as a Category A listed building by Historic Scotland and can now be hired as a venue for small events.
