Christ Church

Christ Church is a church built in 1844, with a chancel added in 1902 by Goddard and Co. from Leicester. It features coursed squared granite from the hill on which it stands, with a granite rubble stone chancel and roofs made of Welsh slate. The church includes limestone buttresses and dressings, such as sill and impost bands, bracketed eaves, and stone-coped gables, all designed in a lancet style. The structure consists of a west tower and spire, nave, and chancel. The tower has three stages with angle buttresses, a west doorway with shafts, lancets above, and three 2-light bell openings with shafts. The broach spire is topped with stone-slated broaches. The nave has four lancets on each side and a four-bay hammer-beam type roof. The chancel features a triple lancet east window with early 20th-century stained glass in patterns. There is a later 20th-century extension to the northeast. This church is referenced in White's Leicestershire and Rutland, published in 1877.
