What is recorded here

Castletown, Main Street, Free Church stood as a worship place from the 19th Century until the mid 20th Century, then became a storehouse. That shift suggests a community that stopped gathering in pews but still needed the building to hold its things. The walls may have stopped echoing with prayer while they continued to protect what the town could not afford to lose.
