 After it was acquired by the congregation and placed in trust, £11,050 was spent on large-scale alterations to the church.A chancel was added at the eastern end, with a new window in the eastern wall; the reredos was replaced with a larger version; the organ was moved again, into a more conventional position in the south gallery; and both the north and the south galleries were rebuilt at their eastern ends to align with the chancel extension.All of the seating was replaced, increasing the capacity to 1,300.
