Christ Church

Christ Church is a church built in 1854 by Sharpe and Paley. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with a slate roof and features a south-west tower, nave with aisles, and a chancel, all designed in the Geometrical style. The three-stage tower has diagonal buttresses up to half its height and a polygonal stair turret at the south-east corner, which ends above the parapet with a pinnacled lantern. The tower includes a three-light west window with a hoodmould that extends as weathering, smaller three-light windows on the second stage on the west and south sides, and a third stage that is set back with two-light belfry openings in recessed panels, topped by a plain parapet with roll-moulded coping.

The west end of the nave is set back and features an arched doorway under a hoodmould with figured stops, triple two-light windows, and a wheel window in the gable. The nave and aisles are four bays wide, with a gabled porch at the first bay that has stout demi-columns with stiff-leaf capitals and a two-centred arch with four orders of hollow moulding, along with a hoodmould that has figured stops. The aisles have coupled single-light windows, while the nave features quatrefoils. The two-bay chancel has tall two-light windows and a triple lancet east window.

Inside, the nave has a four-bay arcade supported by columns with moulded caps and moulded two-centred arches. Moulded stone corbels are present at the clerestory level, from which wallposts rise to the principal roof trusses, featuring arch-braced collars with diagonal struts. The moulded chancel arch contains raised colonnettes with heavily foliated corbels and caps, and there is a stone reredos with blind arcading that includes figured and crocketed decoration.
