Christ Church

Christ Church is a church built between 1857 and 1859 by architect Walter Scott, with a steeple added in 1885 and a vestry in 1899. It is constructed from rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. The church includes a nave, aisles under lean-to roofs, a north-west tower with a splay spire, a chancel, and a south vestry. The nave has seven bays, while the aisles have six bays, featuring paired lancet windows with shafts and hood moulds. The south-west side has a three-light window, and the south-east entrance has two orders with dog-tooth moulding on the arch. The clerestory contains windows with three trefoil-headed lights. The west end features a four-light window with geometrical tracery and flanking lancets, along with a plain entrance below and three lights in the gable. The tower is supported by angle buttresses and has a west entrance and a north two-light plate tracery window. It also has paired louvred bell openings topped with trefoils and a shingle splay spire. The chancel includes a four-light window with a hood mould, while the vestry has a gabled west bay with a three-light plate tracery window and an east window with three trefoil-headed lights. The north organ loft features three cusped lancets and a spherical triangle window above with a flat sill, and the east end serves as the vestry.

Inside, the church has six-bay arcades with alternating round and octagonal piers, and an arched scissor brace roof, with the chancel roof resting on angel corbels. A screen from 1912 features tracery lights, gates with strap hinges, and a cornice decorated with vine, cherubs, and cresting with a rood. The stone pulpit has tracery over arched panels and buttresses, and there is a blind arcade on the chancel's east wall, along with a similar reredos. The square font is supported by shafts with angel corbels, and its carved panels display various symbols. Notably, a stone slab in the porch wall bears tracks of the dinosaur Cheirotherium.
