Stanwell Players
The church gained a reputation for its drama group, the Stanwell Players, formed in July 1946. Their first production was Little Ladyship in January 1947.

When the Church closed in 1970, the Stanwell Players moved to Castle Gate Congregational Centre, and in 1975 to St. Andrew with Castlegate United Reformed Church. The group closed in 1991.
Closure
It closed in 1970 and the congregation merged with Castle Gate Congregational Centre. Due to the redevelopment of the St Ann's area the church was subsequently demolished.
