Below is a plan of the rebuilding by the architects
Mallinson and Healey.
it clearly shows that they kept the original floor plan and so the foundations
and lower course of the walls are the same.
Most significantly the arches to the south aisle and the chancel arch are from
the original church.
The chancel (where the altar is) was also mostly retained.
The windows were all replaced as can be seen in the two photos above.
The biggest change was the west end (towards West Lambwath Road) which was
totally rebulit with the original towern being removed.
The vestry and the south porch were totally rebuilt.
