150-year-old Harrogate church could be turned into house
A Harrogate church which is more than 150 years old could be turned into a home, under new plans.
All Saints Church on Otley Road was formerly opened in 1871 as a cemetery chapel.
It was designated as a grade-II listed building in 1975, but was forced to shut in November 2006 due to wet and dry rot.
Three-years later the church closed for good as it was considered unsafe.
Now, under plans submitted to Harrogate Borough Council, the building could be converted into a three bedroom house.

The application, submitted by ELG Planning on behalf of Mr and Mrs Hunter, said the church could be salvaged and brought back into use.
In a planning statement, the developers said:
Harrogate Borough Council will make a decision on the proposal at a later date.
