Reuben: Overall I really liked this site, the building was wicked, more run down then usual which gave it some interest although the architecture was less visible due to age. There is no way inside as whole structure is filled with multiple metres of spiky plants. Graveyard around was small but had some interesting details and most graves were from the 19th century, annoyingly the place has received a bit too much modern interaction such as blue plastic signs next to some of the graves which stood out and proved to be rather ugly. The road is very close so not the best location but the actual stuff is cool with good benches to eat some food providing no one else is there. Overall I’d give it an 8/10 and would reccomend visiting if you are in the area.

Max: This is at the time of review my favourite site. I actually quite like the location, it is close to a busy road, but it is situated nicely situated next to Henrietta Park and the entrance from Henrietta Rd is tucked away. I agree with reuben the vibrant blue signs denoting grave names and quotes take away from the old and properly abandoned feel but the church itself on a sunny day is a beautiful sight, especially as part of the churchyard is under light woodland. The level of deteriation of the church makes it slightly creepy in a good way, and there is some ominous graffiti on the boarded up door. You should come out of your way to see this sight if you are interested in abandoned churches! 9 / 10 from me.
