Christ Church

Christ Church is a church built between 1847 and 1848 by architects Dickson and Breakspear for the Church Commissioners. It is constructed of English bond brick with a slate roof and stone dressings, showcasing a Gothic revival style. The building features a nave with a clerestory, aisles, and transepts, along with a chancel that is flanked by a side chapel and a vestry. The nave and aisles consist of four bays, with a projecting plinth, a continuous sill band, weathered buttresses, and a porch in the first bay. The gabled transepts are complemented by a west bellcote. The windows include cusped lancet designs and trefoil clerestory windows. The chancel has three bays and a 20th-century flat-roofed addition to the north.

Inside, the church has octagonal columns that support double-chamfered arches of the nave arcade, which are adorned with hoodmoulds and carved stops. The roof features arch-braced collar-tie trusses that spring from moulded corbels. There is an organ loft located on the west gallery, and the timber fittings include a pulpit with a sounding board and sanctuary panelling, along with stained glass windows. The church is referenced in W. Glover's "The History of Ashton-under-Lyne," published in 1884.
