[3] The church was declared redundant in 2001; it fell into a state of relative disrepair and was listed on Historic England's 'Buildings at Risk' register.

[8] The trust carried out repair, renovation and interior remodelling at a reported cost of £1.5 million,[9] largely funded by Historic England.

The churchyard has a tall monument with two angels, to local architectural sculptor Robert Mawer (1807–1854), who made works for several West Riding churches.

[10] On the north wall of the nave a crocketed arch has a plaque carved with ivy leaves commemorating William Schofield (d. 1857), John Coultate (d. 1864), and Hannah (d. 1860) and Alice (d. 1863) Craven.

There is a monument to the east end of the north aisle inside the vestry dedicated to Susannah Blesard (d. 1856).

The interior shots, including the crypt which featured heavily, were filmed however in St Peter's Church in Stanley (demolished 2014).
