The Church closed around 1977 when the congregation moved to the Godalming United Church. It then became an auction room and later, around 2000, was converted into a restaurant. The building is now a showroom. The church opened around 1868 replacing a smaller building in Mint Street (formerly known as Hart or Hart's Lane). That former building was occupied by a Methodist church congregation and the Salvation Army before being converted into offices in 2012. The church is in the Ancient Parishan Ancient Parish is a Church of England parish which, until the 19th century, had both ecclesiastical and civil functions of Godalming St Peter and St Paul.
