Description
Christ Church is a church built in 1870 by H. Ainley, designed in the Gothic revival style. It is constructed of rock-faced stone with slate and copper roofs. The building features a nave with a clerestory, aisles, a south-east tower, and a chancel. The nave and aisles are five bays long, each bay supported by a weathered buttress and containing a 2-light window with geometrical tracery, along with a door in the west bay. The clerestory has circular and cusped windows, and the gables are coped.
The tower is four stages high and castellated, featuring angled weathered buttresses, a door with colonnettes, cusped lancet windows, quatrefoil windows, and 2-light belfry openings, along with a square stair turret topped by a spirelet. The chancel is two bays long and has a five-light east window and a five-light west window.
Inside, the church has chamfered arches for the nave arcade supported by clustered columns, timber fittings, stained glass, and mosaic walls and floor in the chancel. A 20th-century ceiling conceals the nave roof structure.
