Not too long afterwards the remaining part of Cumberland House collapsed, taking the corner of the church with it. To the right of Cumberland Row is the doorway of 54, New King Street, which was also badly damaged and along with the church was subsequently demolished. John Wesley laid the first stone of the original church. After the Bath Blitz in April 1942. See Image Refs. 18766, 18804, 18805, 18948 and 18958.
