Christ Church

Christ Church is a church built in 1848 by B. Ferrey and restored by W. Caröe in 1904, designed in the style of the 13th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and has plain tiled roofs, with further restoration occurring in the 20th century.

The church features a nave with a gabled porch on the south side, a bellcote at the west end, a chancel to the east, and a vestry to the north. The bellcote has two arched openings beneath a gabled top, with flanking stone offsets. The south side has three two-light windows with trefoil roundel tracery under hood mouldings, alternating with buttresses, while the north side has four windows. The chancel's south side includes one similar window and a trefoil-headed lancet, along with a square gabled projection to the north featuring angle buttresses and a gable roundel. The east window consists of three ogee lights with a five-petal roundel above, decorated with mouchettes. The west side has a plate tracery roundel with a two-light quatrefoil window below, situated between double flanking buttresses, the inner ones offset and linked by a stringcourse, while the outer ones are diagonal.

A large gabled timber porch on the south side has scalloped and pierced bargeboards, with a steeply cambered tie-beam over the entrance flanked by leaded, ogee-arched lancets and panelled, glazed side windows. The entrance features a chamfered, arched stone door surround, and there is a priest's door on the south side of the chancel.

Inside, the church is simple, highlighted by a large moulded and chamfered chancel arch and standard 19th-century fittings. The church is an important feature in a remote, unspoilt village.
