Description
Christ Church, built in 1857 and 1894 by William White, is located on Smannell Road in Andover. This church features a single cell nave and chancel, with a half-hexagon apse. There is an arcade on the north side of the nave that leads to the north aisle, which was rebuilt in 1894, and a transept, along with a small vestry and a south porch.
The exterior has a simple tile roof that is hipped at the east end and gabled over the aisle, transept, and west end, where the nave gable is raised to create a staged belfry. The walls are constructed of flint, accented with brick bands, quoins, jambs, stepped buttresses, and a moulded plinth on the buttresses. The windows feature one, two, and three lights, with stonework used for cusped heads, plate tracery, and mullions. The porch is notable for its heavy timber-framing set on a high brick wall with stepped buttresses.
Inside, the walls are made of yellow brick with red brick bands and dado. The pointed arches are created from several brick bands and rest on plain tapered square caps above slender, short columns. The roof showcases open timber-framing, ceiled above the collar level. Additional features include a plain octagonal stone font, wrought-iron candelabra, dado panelling in the apse, and four panels of the Prescriptions from the early 19th century at the west end.
