Description
Christ Church is a church built in 1842, with a chancel added in 1900 and a small extension dated 1974. It is constructed from tooled ashlar pink sandstone and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has an 8-bay nave and chancel in one range, along with a south porch and an organ chapel. The gabled porch includes diagonal buttresses and a 2-centred arch supported by colonnettes, with a label mould on carved head stops. The nave's bays are separated by buttresses and nave lancets that have label moulds on ball flower stops. There is a corbel table detailed towards the east end. The gabled chapel features angle buttresses, a priest's door, a lancet, and a blank trefoil in the gable. The east and west ends are kneelered and have triple lancets, while a double lancet bellcote is located at the west end.
Inside, the nave is simple, with 2-centred arched trusses on moulded corbels. There is a gallery at the west end supported by cast-iron columns above the vestry. The chancel roof is simpler in design. The reredos features washed Gothick arcading and a carved scene of the Last Supper. A late Perpendicular or Puginesque stone pulpit, rich in gothic detail and now painted, has been moved here from St Helen's, Witton. Additionally, there is a brass Boer War memorial plaque dedicated to a local soldier.
