Christ Church

Christ Church is a church built in 1851, designed by Mallinson and Healey. It is constructed of tooled squared stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has a cruciform plan, which includes a west tower, a three-plus-bay nave with a south porch, north and south transepts, and a two-bay chancel, along with a later organ chamber to the north-east that is in keeping with the original design. The church has angle buttresses, and the square tower is supported by reducing buttresses. It includes a stair tower on the north side, two-light, louvred openings for the bell chamber, and a low pyramidal roof that is set behind a bracketed, crenellated parapet. The windows are double-chamfered lancets with cusped heads, with a three-light window in the north transept and a three-light east window that features three quatrefoils in the head. The south transept has two lancets and a wheel window in the apex containing four trefoils.

Inside, the nave has six arch-braced roof trusses with reverse curved struts that spring from the center of the tie-beam, while the transept roofs are scissor-braced, and the chancel roof is panelled. There is stained glass in the east window and south transept. The nave contains straight-backed pews, and there is a small west gallery with ancillary accommodation beneath the gallery and under the tower.
