Christ Church

Christ Church is a church built in 1846 by Benjamin Ferrey. It is constructed of coursed firestone with limestone dressings and features plain tile roofs along with an ashlar spire. The church has a cruciform plan, consisting of a 4-bay nave with a central north porch, 2-bay transepts with lean-tos on the east side, a 2-stage crossing tower topped with a spire, and a 3-bay chancel. Designed in the Early English style, it includes quoins, a chamfered plinth, offset buttresses, carved eaves modillions, and corbelled raised verges with ashlar coping and Celtic cross finials. The pointed-arch doorways and windows feature board doors with decorative iron hinges and boot-scrapers, while the windows are either 2-lights with plate tracery or lancets, all adorned with hoodmoulds that have decorative terminals.

The nave has 2-light windows on the north and south sides, and there is a triangular foundation tablet above the door of the north porch. The west end includes a door, 2 lancets, and a quatrefoil. Each transept has 2 lancets and a quatrefoil in the gable, along with lancets and a Caernarvon-arched doorway leading to the lean-to. The tower features 2-light belfry openings with attached colonettes, a corbelled parapet decorated with halved dog-tooth patterns, quatrefoils, and a weather-cock on the spire. The chancel is highlighted by lancet windows, and at the west end, there is a stepped triple-lancet window set in a pointed-arched recess with attached colonettes.

Inside, the church has a moulded chancel arch supported by attached columns, corbelled cusped-braced roof trusses with trenched purlins, and a carved wooden reredos from 1885. An octagonal stone font, which is decoratively carved, completes the interior features.
