Is mapped as building=church, it is certainly not unusual in areas
where churches have become redundant.

It certainly looks like a church and would easliy be mistaken for one
other than the skylights in the roof.

This was converted to flats in the 80s I seem to remember.

Similarly https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/485430919 is a former
Maltings, now converted to flats but easily recognisable as a Maltings.

Creameries I do struggle with for the simple reason, and despite living
in an area with a long history of cheesemaking, I cannot picture a
building that I have heard called a creamerie hence what one would look
like.
