Christ Church

Christ Church is a church dating from 1733, and significantly altered in the 1894 by Douglas. It is constructed from sandstone rubble with slate roofs and incorporates a west tower, a nave with a lower chancel, a south porch, and a north vestry.

The tower features rock-faced diagonal buttresses and a short, slated spire set back behind an embattled parapet, with a weather vane. A string course with corner gargoyles runs below the parapet. The bell openings are each of two lights with segmental heads. The west window appears to have been re-set and is chamfered with two round-headed lights. The nave has chamfered quoins at each corner and copings with kneelers. The windows of 1894 feature lights with elliptical heads; one light windows are present in the west wall to each side of the tower. The south wall has two pairs of two-light windows, each with a blank tracery panel above the lights and under a single hood. A one-light window is at the far right of the south wall, next to a doorway flanked by Doric pilasters and featuring a round head with a fluted keystone. A moulded stone door surround of 1894 is set back within this doorway. To the left, a gabled porch has an outer doorway with a moulded pointed arch; the inner doorway is flanked by pilasters and has a round arch with a fluted keystone inscribed with "O ye shepherds hear the word of the Lord".

The chancel, set back to the right, is a single bay with a one-light window having a pointed head with tracery and an ogee head to the light. The north side mirrors this design. The east window is of five ogee lights under a Tudor-arched head with tracery. The north side of the nave has two two-light windows to the right of the vestry and one of one light to the left. The vestry has a three-light window.

Inside, moulded pointed arches lead to the tower and sanctuary. The nave has an open timber roof with two bolted king post trusses and ogee braces to the principals. One truss, between the nave and choir stalls, resembles a spire truss and has aisle posts with carved tracery decoration, arch braces rising to a high collar, and smaller braces to the aisle ties. The pews date from 1894 and have carved ends. The pulpit incorporates 17th century carved panels, including the date 1684. Wall tablets include one by Websters of Kendal, dedicated to Richard Hathornthwaite (d. 1816). The windows contain some glass of late 19th century date.
