Description

Christ Church is a church built between 1850 and 1851, designed by Ferrey. It features a combination of rubble and ashlar stone with a slate roof. The church has an aisled layout, with a north-east tower topped by an ashlar broach spire, and it does not have a clerestory. The nave and aisles are covered by separate roofs and are designed in the Geometrical Gothic style. The nave consists of four bays, while the aisles are adorned with 2-light windows and short buttresses. The main entrance is located at the north porch, and there is a prominent five-light window at the east end. The interior has not been inspected.

Local climate

Christ Church sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 94% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 51% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
