I hate it when this happens to churches, and I think it is pretty horrible that such lovely buildings are bought privately and turned into houses and stuff so that they can no longer be enjoyed by everyone :(

But the congregation of the Baptist church could no longer afford the upkeep so what's the alternative?

Council could have them as places of interest? Maybe keep them as community centres and such. Not a bloody house anyway.

There is a church building in Lancaster called the Friary that has been turned into a pub. How would you feel if your place of worship had to be turned into a pub willow? I get the feeling you would be upset about it.

I would love to buy a church and covert it into a house...............but not in the centre of Accrington

I think this church would make a really good Indian restaurant though

It always seems like a good idea at the time (don't they all) but the Rising Bridge conversion has NOT sold and neither has the chapel conversion at Trawden.

No...not for me I would not want to live in converted church.
I wouldn't have it as a gift.

Nope..............I would never sleep....and can you imagine having to do your daily ablutions in a place that was once revered.
I have seen a couple of converted churches and they still give me the willies. I imagine that the electric and gas bill would be enormous too.....have you ever been in a warm church?
