Then

The first council tenants worshipped in Sir James Altham's 1612 chapel from 1948, before All Saints was built next door. Part of the roof fell in during the hard winter of 1962 to 1963, and the chapel was re-roofed with help from a local appeal and the diocese.^{5,114,317,332,336}

Now

Declared redundant in 1976, it has been cared for since 1977 by what is now the Churches Conservation Trust. The Trust lists no regular opening times, only a contact for enquiries.
