Christ Church

Christ Church is a parish church located in Fenton, Stoke on Trent, built between 1890 and 1891, with the tower completed in 1899. It was designed by Charles Lynam and features red and blue brick with ashlar dressings and slate roofs in the Decorated style. The church includes a west tower, a nave with aisles and clerestory, and a chancel with a south chapel and north vestry.

The west tower has four unequal stages, angle buttresses, and a stair turret. It features paired shouldered west doors set in a single stone archway, with a low relief figure of Christ in the tympanum above. There are three-light Decorated windows above the doors and paired bell chamber lights. A white brick arcade runs beneath the embattled parapet. The south porch is gabled and coped, while the aisle consists of five bays divided by gableted buttresses, each bay containing three-light windows. The clerestory has paired two-light windows.

The south chancel chapel has three bays and a clerestory above, with an ornate east window featuring cusping to the hood mould. The chancel has a five-light east window with a smaller window above it. The north aisle mirrors the south aisle and includes a vestry to the east, which runs at a right angle to the main axis of the church.

Inside, there is a six-bay arcade with alternating octagonal and cylindrical shafts topped with foliate capitals. The roof features queen posts with traceried panelling. The wide chancel arch is supported by corbels and has niches on either side, with the chancel finished in stone. The interior also includes a carved reredos, a wooden screen, and a pulpit, as well as stained glass windows in the north aisle dating from 1902.
