Christ Church

Christ Church is a church built in 1838 by Edmund Sharpe, with aisles and a chancel added in 1882 by F. Robinson. It is constructed of squared limestone with sandstone ashlar dressings and has a slate roof, designed in a Romanesque style with additions that match this style. The building features a west tower with a spire, a nave with a south porch, and three transeptal gables on the north and south sides that form the aisles. The chancel is lower and has a semi-circular apse.

The tower consists of three stages that lead up to a sandstone ashlar spire. The lower stage has two blank arches on each side and two round-headed windows on the west side. The upper stages each have two similar openings on each side, separated by pilaster strips and adorned with Lombard friezes. The bays of the main church are also separated by pilaster strips and feature Lombard friezes. The nave has two bays on the north side and one bay to the west of the south porch, with tall windows that have splayed limestone reveals and round heads. Each aisle bay has similar windows, paired with a single pierced quatrefoil above and under a semi-circular relieving arch. A plaque in the apse notes that the chancel was built in memory of Robert Ingram, who died in 1879.

Inside, the nave has three-bay arcades with semi-circular arches, banded round columns, and foliated capitals and responds. The moulded round chancel arch is supported by short corbelled shafts with foliated capitals. Below this are piers with angle shafts, which support flanking arches leading into the organ chamber and the south chapel. An inscribed band on the south aisle wall indicates that the church was enlarged in 1882. At the west end, there is a gallery with a timber front, and the roof is supported by arch-braced trusses. The windows contain glass from various dates in the late 19th century.
