Christ Church

Christ Church is a parish church dating to 1828, designed by Richard Furness, with additions of a choir vestry in 1879 and a chancel in 1895 by John Dodsley Webster. The church is constructed of coursed squared stone and ashlar, with ashlar dressings, and has stone slate and Welsh slate roofs. It is an example of Gothic Revival architecture.

The plan incorporates a chancel, vestries, a nave, a west tower, and a north porch. Externally, the church features quoins, diagonal buttresses topped with pinnacles, and a 2-bay chancel with a sillband. The east end contains a 4-light panel tracery window, with two single lancet windows to the north. The south-east vestry has a canted corner with a door, and a 3-light mullioned window to its east. South-facing walls feature single and 2-light mullioned windows. The crenellated south-west vestry exhibits a pointed doorway to the west and a triangular headed 2-light window to the south. The aisleless nave features a single lancet to the west and two 2-light pointed arch windows to the east. The north side has two similar windows flanked by single lancets, with a single lancet in the east end. The west end contains 2-light pointed arch windows on each side. The three-stage west tower has string courses and a crenellated parapet with four crocketed pinnacles. The first stage has a paired lancet with triangular heads to the west, the second stage a blank clock dial to the west and a triangular headed window to the south, and the bell stage has a double lancet opening on each side, with hoodmoulds; clocks are situated above the north and south lancets. A crenellated north porch features a double chamfered doorway with a bracket lamp above it.
