Description
Christ Church is a church built between 1856 and 1858 by Raffles Brown. It features coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and a slate roof, comprising a western tower, nave, and chancel. The tower has angle buttresses and a projecting plinth. The west face includes a central window that rises from the level of a string course surrounding the tower, featuring two-light loosely Decorated tracery with a sharply pointed arch, and a circular clock face above. There are two lancet belfry openings above, topped with a battlemented parapet. The north face has a lancet at ground level, a rectangular opening beneath the circular clock face, and similar belfry lancets with a battlemented parapet. The south face mirrors this design but includes a quarter-octagonal staircase turret at the re-entrant angle with the nave.
The nave has a south face with four bays, featuring single light windows on either side with cusped lights and dagger ornaments above. There is a gabled porch on the second bay from the left, adorned with figurehead label-stops on the hood-mould and a moulded surround to the door. To the right of the porch are two 2-light windows with dagger ornaments above, separated by buttresses. The north face is similar but lacks a porch, replaced by an additional window. The chancel is narrower than the nave, with the south side featuring two 2-light windows in a loosely Decorated style, buttresses between them, and a blocked priest's door to the right of a buttress. The north side has an attached vestry, and the west window, resting on a string course, consists of three loosely Decorated lights.
Inside, the church has ashlar piers supporting thin roof trusses.
