Description
Christ Church is a parish church built in 1838 by architect Chantrell, with the chancel added in 1884. It is constructed of dressed stone and features a slate roof. The church consists of a nave, a west tower, and a short, narrow chancel. The tower has three stages, an embattled parapet, diagonal buttresses, and heavily crocketed pinnacles. The south door is adorned with decorative hinges and a label featuring foliated stops. The belfry includes 2-light Gothic windows. The nave has five bays with square-headed windows, each containing two ogee-headed lights. The chancel is a single bay with a three-light Perpendicular east window and a gable cross, along with stone gutter brackets.
Inside, the church is aisleless and supported by four slim queen-post trusses. The floor is made of stone flags. The first three bays contain low box pews with slight Gothic decoration, tiered at the back. An octagonal stone font is centrally located. The chancel arch has a hoodmould with label stops that are said to represent the Bishop of Ripon and Queen Victoria. Most of the remaining fittings are later additions, including the east window from 1884. A board in the lobby records a grant from the Incorporated Church Building Society.
