In 2002 a project was undertaken to digitise the photo archive depicting life of St Mary Ince over the previous 100 years.
Fixtures and fittings were sold off at the time of the demolition - most of the furniture went to St Mary's, Hale

Most of the pews went to Hale, where the church had suffered a fire in 1977:
