Two crews put out a small blaze and an investigation has now been launched to determine the cause.

No-one was injured.

The church has been empty since 2011, and in 2017 planning permission was granted to knock it down, along with the adjoining church hall, and build a care home on the site.

The care home will provide accommodation for adults with a range of complex medical conditions.
