Description
Christ Church is a church built between 1850 and 1852 by Samuel Dawkes, with a north porch and projecting aisle added by Ewan Christian between 1881 and 1882. It is constructed of Kentish ragstone coursed rubble with Portland stone dressings and has slated roofs, designed in the Early English style. The church features a 5-bay nave, aisles, and sanctuary, with a northern facade that has a 4-bay projection. There is a western tower topped with a spire. The east end includes a 4-light pointed traceried window with a quatrefoil above in the sanctuary, and a similar 2-light window arrangement in the aisles. The other facades also have similar windows. The tower is angle buttressed and has two 2-light windows on each facade, a parapet with finials at the corners, and a spire that includes lucarnes.
The interior was not inspected, but it originally had a good timber gallery added in 1860 by Sir Gilbert Scott, which was dismantled during the 1960s. The church was built to accommodate the growing population of Hampstead, which had outgrown St John's in Church Row, leading to the subdivision of the parish.
