Description
Christ Church is a parish church dating to 1850, with alterations and substantial additions circa 1985. It was designed by Flockton & Son of Sheffield and is constructed of squared dressed stone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, featuring bands of shaped slates. The church is in the Gothic Revival style.
The plan includes a chancel, a nave with a clerestory and aisles, transepts, vestries, porches, and a west tower. The exterior is buttressed throughout and features a plinth, hoodmoulds over openings, and coped gables with crosses. The single-bay chancel has a lancet window on each side and a four-light pointed arch window to the east. The clerestory has four pairs of small lancets on each side. The four-bay aisles feature two two-light pointed arch windows to the east of the porch and a similar window to the west. The west ends each have a two-light pointed arch window. The transepts have three-light windows in the gables. To the east of the transepts is a lean-to vestry with ogee-headed lancets and a single door. Gabled west porches have moulded doorways. The four-stage west tower has angle buttresses topped with octagonal pinnacles and spires, with a canted stair turret to the south. To the west, a double chamfered doorway and, to the north, two single lancets are present. The second stage includes a single lancet to the north and south, while the third stage has a clock to the north and loops on the other sides. The bell stage has a recessed moulded two-light pointed arch bell opening on each side.
The interior features a double chamfered chancel arch with single shafts. The east end contains stained glass from 1852 and a Perpendicular style wooden reredos dating circa 1900. A double chamfered arch leads to the organ chamber on the south side. The transepts include similar arches; the south arch has a 20th-century glazed screen, and the north arch has a 19th-century traceried screen with a gallery above. The nave has four-bay arcades with double chamfered arches and a strutted king post roof. The west end has a double chamfered tower arch with a doorway below and a gallery above. The aisles have lean-to roofs. The north aisle includes a baptistry at the west end with a stained glass window from 1915 and other stained glass by Kayll & Read. Among the fittings are a traceried octagonal wooden pulpit, plain 19th-century benches, and an octagonal font from 1913. Memorials include an alabaster war memorial tablet with a Perpendicular style wooden surround and three 19th-century Gothic wall tablets. Stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops are also present.
