Description
Christ Church is a church built around 1841, featuring a porch added in the late 19th century, a vestry from 1938, and a parish hall from the 20th century. It is constructed of English garden wall bond and Flemish bond brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. The building consists of a nave and chancel under one roof, previously having a west gallery, with a central west tower and 20th-century additions to the south. The structure has five bays, a stone plinth, and 3-light mullion and transom windows, along with weathered buttresses angled at the corners. The roof is adorned with coped gables, kneelers, and ball finials. The porch in the third bay features a similar gable, a chamfered door surround, and a window above. The tower includes diagonal buttresses, a chamfered surround for the door opening, clock faces, round-headed belfry openings, and a castellated parapet with corner pinnacles. The east window has four lights. Inside, there are timber fittings from various periods, some in a Jacobean style, including chancel panelling, a pulpit, box pews, and a large west organ. The roof features arch-braced collar-tie trusses and stained glass.
