Christ Church

Christ Church is a church built between 1859 and 1860, designed by architect S S Teulon. It underwent later alterations, including the addition of a west bay and west wall in 1881 by Charles Maylard. The church is constructed in a muscular Gothic style using squared, coursed rubblestone, and features a steeply pitched slate roof. It has a six-bay aisled nave without a clerestory, and a low square, massive tower over the choir, topped with a pyramidal roof and a northeastern stair turret with a conical roof. Each face of the tower has a bell louvre. There is a transept to the south and a northeast vestry. The church includes pointed arches with Geometrical and Decorated tracery, and a pair of dormers on the south side of the nave.

Inside, the church has chamfered stone piers with carved capitals, and pointed arcade arches that are more elaborately moulded in the choir. The roof is panelled with arched braces, hammer beams, and traceried spandrels. The east and west windows feature five-light flowing traceries, while the aisle windows have three-light geometrical tracery. The chancel walls display blind arcading. There is a reredos created between 1907 and 1912 by E C Shearman, along with a timber pulpit, a blocky stone font, an eagle lectern, and some Victorian and Edwardian stained glass.
