Christ Church

Christ Church is a church built between 1857 and 1859 by Stockton and Son, with renovations completed in 1884. It is constructed from coursed, squared sandstone with gritstone dressings and features a steeply pitched slate roof. The gables are stone coped and gableted to the ridge, with moulded kneelers. A bellcote is located on the west gable. The church includes a nave, a lower chancel, a south porch, and a north vestry, all designed in the Early English style.

The west elevation showcases a tall chamfered pointed arch that is blind except for three stepped lancets, flanked by large clasping buttresses. The north elevation has three pairs of double lancets with stepped buttresses in between. A small vestry is located to the east, featuring a segmental arched doorcase on the west side and a double Caernarvon arched window on the east. There is a single lancet window leading to the chancel from the vestry. The east window consists of three lancets topped by a bullseye window, with clasping buttresses on either side. The south chancel wall has two single lancets with buttresses between, while the south nave wall features two double lancets with a buttress in between, a south porch, and a single lancet to the west. The porch has a double chamfered pointed arch, supported by half column pilasters that hold up the soffit of the doorcase, leading to a chamfered pointed arched inner door.

Inside, the church is very plain, with a double chamfered chancel arch and scissor truss roofs. The chancel is panelled and has a four-centred arch door leading to the north vestry. The round east window contains stained glass. The original pulpit and lectern are both wooden with cusped panelling. There are two octagonal fonts; one is very plain, while the other is contemporary, featuring a plain octagonal bowl on a central stem with four marble columns on the sides, each with carved capitals, and a 20th-century iron top.
