Christ Church

Christ Church is a church that opened in 1870, with its tower completed in 1882, designed by Naden of Birmingham. It is built from limestone rubble with Bath stone dressings and features tile roofs. The church includes a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a tower at the west end of the north aisle, transepts, and a lower chancel with a north vestry and a south organ chamber.

The three-stage tower has angle buttresses, an embattled parapet, and corner pinnacles. Each of the bell openings features two trefoiled lancet lights, and there is a clock face above the openings of the middle stage. The west doorway at the base of the tower is moulded with a pointed arch. The west window of the nave consists of five lights with geometric tracery. Both aisles are three bays long and have windows with three trefoiled lights under depressed 2-centred heads. The south aisle includes a gabled porch situated between the first and second bays. The clerestory has cusped round openings. Each transept has a 3-light window under a pointed head with geometric tracery, while the east window is similar but consists of five lights.

Inside, the nave arcades feature four bays on the north side and five on the south. The eastern bay on each side opens into a transept and is separated from the rest of the arcade by a pier with attached columns and two carved heads. The pointed arches are supported by round columns with foliated capitals. The roof has trusses resting on stone corbels, with king-posts rising from arch-braced collars. The pointed chancel arch is moulded and has shafts as responds, supported on corbels. The chancel windows contain late 19th-century stained glass.
