[1] In September 2013[6] grants totalling £250,000[2] from English Heritage and the National Lottery, were awarded to restore both the inside and outside of the building, and to replace the roof.

[10] A fundraising campaign to restore the church was launched after the fire, with the hope that the building can be saved.

[11] Canon David Wyatt of the Church of the Ascension, described the fire as hurtful and frustrating but noted the “heart-warming” response from parishioners.

[13] A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of arson on 17 February, although the origin of the fire remains unknown.

The Church reopened in October 2022, with the licensing of Rev Canon Falak Sher, with over 200 people in the congregation.
