After the dissolution of Launceston Priory in 1539 the management transferred to the Corporation who took on the responsibility of appointing curates and repairs to the building.

Around 1550, the lead work needed repair, and the Corporation employed a plumber to recast and relay it.

[2] Following an appeal for scrap metal, the iron railings were removed at the start of the Second World War.

The plans for the work were prepared by D. Barton Esq, and the contact undertaken by Messrs Gill and Ede, builders of Launceston.

The church re-opened for worship on 28 December 1852 in the presence of the Mayor, Justices and other members of the corporation.

New choirs stalls were also provided, wood carving was done by Charles Trask and Sons, Stoke-under-Ham, Illminster.
