Description
Christ Church is a parish church dating to 1856, with an octagonal choir vestry added in 1902. It was designed by TC Hine of Nottingham. The church is constructed of rockfaced Bulwell stone with ashlar dressings, and has slate roofs with coped gables. It is executed in the Gothic Revival style.
The church plan consists of a chancel, vestry and organ chamber, a nave with a south porch and bell turret, a north aisle, and an octagonal choir vestry. The exterior features a plinth, quoins, buttresses, traceried pointed arched windows and doors with hood moulds. The chancel has a four-light east window. To the south is a blocked priest's door, with a single lancet window to the east and a two-light window to the west. The lean-to vestry has a lancet window to the east and a door to the north. The organ chamber has a two-light window to the north. The nave has a gabled south porch with a moulded doorway and shafts, and flat-headed side windows. A two-light window is located to the west, and two similar windows to the east. A bell turret, octagonal in plan, rises from the southwest corner with two lancets and eight bell openings beneath gables. An octagonal spire topped with a weathercock rises above. The west end has two lancets, and above, a triangular window. The north aisle has four two-light windows, and a similar window at the west end. The octagonal choir vestry features angle buttresses and six lancets mirroring those of the nave's west end, a spire roof with a finial, and a corridor with a segmental pointed door between it and the nave.
The interior is rendered. The chancel has a double chamfered arch with clustered shaft responds, and a roof with arch braces resembling a vault. The north side includes a segmental pointed opening to the organ chamber, and a similar doorway to the east, while the east end features a shallow sanctuary with a stained glass window, dated 1898. The south side contains a recess and a blocked doorway fitted with seats, alongside two stained glass windows from the late 19th century. The nave houses a scissor braced roof with collars, and a north arcade of four bays with double chamfered arches on octagonal piers. The south side has a stained glass east window dating to the 19th century, and a memorial stained glass window from 1915. The west end has pointed arched doors leading to the bell turret and the vestry. The north aisle has a lean-to roof, and at its east end, a cusped stone screen with three bays. The vestry has a strutted ribbed roof with a central post and boss, alongside carved wooden corbels.
Fittings include an octagonal font with figurative panels and inscriptions, supported on clustered columns, as well as original stalls and benches. A rood screen was added in 1925, with other fittings dating to the later 20th century. Memorials include a marble and slate tablet, dated 1868.
