Christ Church

Christ Church is a compact mid-19th century building designed by H. Elliott between 1856 and 1860, with later extensions by G. Vialls in 1881. The church is constructed of red brick featuring polychrome brick details and stone dressings. It includes a four-bay nave, a south aisle, a transept, and an unusually positioned west tower at the end of the south aisle. The openings predominantly have simple trefoil heads, with a notable five-light composite window at the west end of the nave. The south aisle and the tower's ground floor west window display plate tracery. The tower is low and consists of three stages, topped with a heavy stone cornice and a plain brick parapet, culminating in a slated pyramidal spirelet. The later extensions are made of a plainer, darker red brick and include a chancel, a south chapel, a long five-bay north aisle, a vestry, and a hall. These features incorporate 13th-century style double-light windows with trefoiled heads and quatrefoils above, with the chancel's east window being a five-light version of the same design. The church is currently redundant.
