It has been one of the first of the current tranch of properties to be given a closing date, which has been set for Thursday 29th of January at 12 noon.
Details and the brochure can be downloaded here.
We can only hope that the new owners will treat the property and the village heritage it represents with respect and dignity,
Led by the congregation will be held at Fisherton Church on Wednesday 24 December at 6.30pm.

Here is the list of services:
This is the list of services at Alloway Church – residents of Dunure and Fisherton will be most welcome.
If, as Dynamic Dunure claim, the Kennedy Hall is no longer fit for purpose, an ideal replacement would be to purchase and convert Fisherton Church.
For less than half the price quoted to remove Kennedy Hall from the village and turn it into holiday lets or flats, the village could have a facility with a large car park, ample tourist potential, and genuine links to the heritage of the people of Dunure and Fisherton.
We wouldn’t need to spend £900,000 on consultants either.
The justication for the massive £5,000,000 spend on the ‘Helm’ looks more and more like an excuse to build a wedding venue / tourist attraction rather than serve the needs of the village.
The property is not listed, and could be used, without the necessity of obtaining change of use consent, as a Creche, day nursery, day centre, educational establishment, museum or public library. It also has potential for a variety of other uses, such as retail, commercial or community uses, subject to obtaining the appropriate consents.
Conversion to residential accommodation might also be possible, again subject to the usual consents.
Given the low starting price, the location, and the huge potential, it’s likely that Fisherton Church will be sold quickly.
Driving past today (Friday 12th December) I noticed many cars in the church car park. It turns out that there is a great deal of interest in the church as a property: to guage the seriousness of those viewing, I saw at least three Range Rovers, a Jaguar, and a motorhome along with a constant stream of other cars parked up.
We hope as usual to be down at the harbour with the sun setting in the background.
If the weather is inclement (perish the thought) we will hold our service in Fisherton Church
As always after a short service, we’ll have a wee cup of tea and then a sing song around the campfire.
You may or may not know that the Church publishes videos of services.
