While the future will unfold in its own way, widespread discussion has identified a number of core types of accommodation / use within the church which are a direct response to the needs analysis:
- Use as a church
- Configuration as a performance space (including music and theatre in theround)
- A permanent exhibition on Charmouth, its church and its people
- Changing exhibitions focusing upon different themes – such as heritage and conservation, and local arts and crafts. Whilst there will be a permanent exhibition on the heritage of Charmouth, there are any other separate elements (such as the silver held by the church), and the individuals associated with the church merit a separate cameo exposition (cross-linked to poetry, talks, music, drama, tours, fruits of new research, involvement of professional historians / museums across the region, etc.)
- Fossil displays in perspex cases on mobile plinths
- Farmers market
- Workshops
- Tourist information
- Restoration, interpretation and chronological arrangement of memorials inside the church
- Teaching space (temporary classroom)
