Description

Christ Church and Church Hall is a parish church and church hall built in 1866 by J A Cory, with additions made in the early 20th century. It is designed in the Neo-Norman style and constructed from coursed rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and Welsh slate roofs. The building features raised and coped gables with finials and quoins. It includes a south tower, nave, west aisle, chancel, and church hall.

The tower is adorned with clasping buttresses and has a round-headed south doorway with three shafts and triple arches, topped by a circular wheel window with six round-headed arches. The east and west faces each have a round-arched doorway with a round-headed lancet above. Each of these faces also features a circular clock face over a short round arch, flanked by single round-arched lancets. Above each face are two pairs of round-arched bell openings with central shafts, set in panels, and topped with a parapet and plain corner finials.

The west aisle contains a single round-headed lancet on both the south and north sides, along with four similar windows to the west. The apsidal chancel has five round-headed lancets and two round-headed priest's doors. The north-east church hall features three 3-light chamfered mullion windows linked by a cill band, and a single round-headed doorway with a plank door on the south side. The east nave wall has four round-headed lancets, each within a blocked arch of an unused arcade.

Inside, the church has four bay round-arched arcades, with the eastern arcade blocked. The round piers and responds have scalloped capitals, and there is a simple round chancel arch. The interior also includes wooden boarded roofs, pews, choir stalls, a pulpit, reredos, and lectern, along with late 19th and early 20th century stained glass windows.
