Former Christ Church with wall, railings and gates with overthrow

The former Christ Church, now known as Dishforth Village Hall, is a building dating from 1791, which was restored and extended around 1880 by G Mallinson of Ripon. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone and features a stone slate roof, with grey slates on the apse. The church has a west porch, a three-bay nave with a north aisle, and a polygonal apse.

The west end includes a 19th-century porch with a pointed-arched doorway and two 19th-century cusped oculi above, along with a gable bellcote or finial base. The south elevation has two 18th-century Y-tracery windows, an added organ chamber on the right, and coped gables with shaped kneelers and finials at the west end. There is also a reused Y-tracery window in the north aisle.

Inside, the church features a three-bay arcade with foliate capitals and a wide, low chancel arch, all designed in the 1880s Decorated style. An elaborate 19th-century pulpit is located near the organ in the southeast corner, and the font at the west end of the north aisle is likely late 18th century, with a shallow bowl on a squat quatrefoil column.

Surrounding the building are railings to the west and south, consisting of a low wall with pointed coping that supports wrought-iron railings made of plain bars with beaded finials. On the west side, there is a single-leaf gate on the left and a central two-leaf gate featuring bars, dogbars, curved braces on the lower half, and a round-arched overthrow with scroll decoration and a lantern bracket.

An illustration in the church depicts its appearance before and after restoration, showing that the original design included a rectangular body with an east gallery and west porch.
