Quick facts

The church closed in 1948, was declared redundant in 1973 and is now cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust.

Its tower collapsed in 1661, destroying the south aisle; the Flemish congregation rebuilt the tower and left the aisle ruined, and it is now a garden.

The curfew bell is still rung at 8pm every day, an ancient custom that continues.
