Those are two interesting cases. The former chapel is very attractive but I can't imagine it getting restored now that it is a luxury home. The main baptist church is a very different story. It is a very nice building except for the, errr, modernistic atrium and that can be worked on. The price is wonderful, the community room and facilities alone makes it a great investment.
What is it like in the UK, are the national church organizations wealthy?
Also I found this. Apparently there are at least ten churches 'of architecturical note' in Macclesfield. So there could be even more. For a population of about 60 000 that's probably just a small fraction of what there was a century ago.
