Christ Church

Christ Church is a church built in 1847 by Ignatius Bonomi. It is constructed of rubble limestone with gristone dressings, featuring quoins, coped gables, and a stone slated roof. The church has a narrow, aisless nave with a gabled bellcote at the southwest end, a southwest gabled porch, and a lower chancel that includes a shallow pitched lean-to vestry on the southeast side. The windows are simple lancets in the early English style, with quoined surrounds. The lancets on the northeast wall of the chancel have heads linked by a continuous hoodmould that rises above each of the three lancet heads. There are clasping buttresses on the chancel gable and a stepped buttress between the windows on the northwest wall of the nave. A stepped buttress is also present at the center of the southwest gable, along with a stone chimney. Inside, 20th-century stained glass windows commemorate various members of the Pickford family, who were the founders of the carrier service and lived at Kingsterndale Hall.
