Christ Church

Christ Church is an Anglican church built in 1847 by B. Ferrey. It features coursed and squared rubble construction, with a sill band, two-stage buttresses, stone eaves cornices, slate roofs, and coped verges, one of which has a cruciform finial. The church is designed in the Early English style and includes a nave, chancel, south porch, and north vestry. The nave has four bays with 2-light traceried windows, lancets, and a circular opening in the gable face at the west end. The pointed arch west doorway has bold keel moulding and paired doors with scrolly iron hinges. The gabled porch has an elaborately moulded outer door opening with a trefoil head and paired doors with scrolly iron hinges. The two-bay chancel contains lancets, a priest's door, and a 4-light east window with bar tracery. The window and door openings have dripstones that are terminated by ornamental masks. Inside, the church has a plastered interior with flagstone and encaustic tile floors. The nave features a well-modelled hammer-beam roof, while the chancel has an arch-braced roof. Furnishings include two Jacobean chairs, two coffin stools, a 19th-century font, pews, a pulpit, choir stalls, altar rails, a reredos, and an organ dated 1865. The stained glass is mostly simple, except for the east window depicting Our Lord Crowned in Majesty, created in 1905 by Alfred Hemming of London, and the north window in the nave from 1918. There is also a plaque commemorating grants for the church's construction at the west end, and a bell located in the bellcote at the rear of the nave as of August 1985.
