Description
Christ Church is a Chapel of Ease built in 1863 by Ward & Ford. It features coursed stone construction and a blue machine tile roof with a banded and patterned crested ridge and verge parapets. The church is designed in a Neo-Norman style and includes a west porch, nave, chancel, vestry, and north transept.
The nave consists of five bays divided by pilaster buttresses on a roll-moulded plinth. It has round-arch single-light windows set in slight recesses, which are corbelled over to an eaves band. The west end features a gabled belfry above a rose window, flanked by two small round-arched windows with corbelled imposts. The gabled central porch has a round-arch entry with a roll-moulded intrados to the imposts.
The lower apsidal chancel has three windows similar to those in the nave and features pseudo-machiolated eaves. The vestry is a gabled single-storey structure with one bay, while the transept is lower than the nave and also consists of one bay.
