Description
Christ Church, built in 1871 by Adams and Kelly of Leeds, is an example of early Gothic style with French influences. The church is constructed of ashlar and has a steeply pitched slated roof. The design features a long, plain nave extending directly into a chevet at the east end. Aisle elevations are characterised by rows of six cross-gables, punctuated by short buttresses. A shallow, gabled porch is located in the westernmost gable. Windows are predominantly cusped lancets; single windows appear in the clerestory, while elsewhere they are paired, with roundels or quatrefoils above. A pent roof defines the west porch.
Inside, compound piers support the aisles, with capitals decorated by stiff-leaf carvings. A wagon roof is supported by engaged columns. The east end is particularly notable, featuring stained glass panels depicting prophets and saints.
The land for the church was given by Lord Northbourne, and contributions were also received from Lords Northbourne and Joicey.
