One further piece of information may help: St. Pancras Old Church
ceased to be used entirely not long after the New Church was opened in
1822, and eventually became completely derelict. It was brought back
into intermittent use, after extensive reconstruction, in 1845.

history of St. Pancras/Kentish Town.
