In the summer of 1889 the chapel was renovated throughout, and at the annual finance meeting in 1896 it was decided to erect a new kitchen and two vestries, these additions were delayed until 1899, the Sunday school now had seven vestries plus the kitchen. Meanwhile the dilapidated condition of the farm at Red Brink was cause for concern so it was decided to pull it down and rebuild on the same site, this meant an outlay of over £300. Two memorial stones were incorporated in re build, one had the inscription Endowed 1737 and the other Rebuilt 1902. The church survived until after the Second World War, but the congregation gradually declined and were unable to keep up with the general maintenance and some storm damage, the coping stones on the east end of the church roof gave cause for concern so it was decided by the deacons meeting in 1977 that there was no option but to close the building, so after 332 years of the Chapel at Sowerby the building was closed, and demolition took place in the summer of 1980. The graveyard has been closed since 1980 for burials and the front gate has been locked however access is still possible if you request access from the graveyard owner who lives in the Chapel's old manse around the back of the graveyard.
