Christ Church

Christ Church is a church built between 1881 and 1882 by Henry Littler. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and is designed in the Gothic style reminiscent of around 1300. The building features a nave with north and south aisles, a west tower, and a chancel.

The three-stage tower has angle buttresses, a small diagonal staircase in the south-east angle, a moulded plinth, two string-courses, and a plain parapet. It includes a shallow west porch with a moulded two-centred arched doorway featuring set-in shafts, and a steeply-pitched gable topped with an apex cross. The tower has coupled two-centred arched west windows, each with two cusped lights and double-chamfered surrounds, a square clock face above, and coupled two-light belfry windows with louvres. On the south side, there is a two-light window at ground floor level and a square window in the second stage with three trefoil lights and a band of quatrefoils.

The six-bay nave has square-headed clerestory windows with two cusped lights, alternating with trefoils and quatrefoils in the heads, and parapets with ridged coping. The aisles are supported by buttresses and have two-centred two-light traceried windows. The chancel consists of two bays. Inside, the church features conventional aisle arcades with two-centred arches resting on octagonal piers.
