The building was used as a store for the nearby farm but was returned to religious use in the 1880s by Thomas Dyke Acland.[3] In 1880 it was restored and the addition of a porch completed around 1904 in memory of Henry Goddard.[1]
The parish of Selworthy is within the Porlock and Porlock Weir benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[4]
