Christ Church (C of I), Woburn Road, Ballyrawer, Millisle, Newtownards, Co Down, BT22 2HY

Christ Church is a single storey gothic church of the Church of Ireland, located on Woburn Road near Ballyrawer, Millisle, in County Down. The building was originally constructed in 1842, with the tower and spire added in 1859. The church sits on a slight rise at the end of a tree-lined lane south of Woburn Road, west of Carrowdore.

The main walls are constructed in snecked rubble with sandstone dressings, while the tower, chancel and side porch are built in sandstone. The nave, chancel and porch have gabled roofs with Bangor blue slates and stone parapets.

The three storey buttressed tower stands to the north gable. The ground floor of the north facade of the tower contains the main entrance, consisting of a timber sheeted double door set in a pointed arch headed opening with chamfered reveal and floral capped columns to each jamb. Above the doorway is a gable shaped drip stone moulding with finial and carved angels at the gable ends, with a small carved roundel near the gable apex from which an iron lamp now projects. Above this is a long inscription panel dedicated to Harriet Dunbar, flanked by carved angels. The middle storey of the tower has a small pointed arch window with stone tracery, label moulding and carved head stops. The upper storey contains twinned pointed arch openings with linked label moulding, carved head stops and carved angels where the label moulding joins. Each opening contains four louvered lights with cusped trefoil heads and tracery infill. The tower is crowned with a cusped frieze and topped by an octagonal spire with cast iron cross finial.

The east and west faces of the tower match the north facade but feature a small roundel window with trefoil opening at ground floor level. The exposed upper level of the south face is also similar to the north. To either side of the tower, on the north gable of the nave, is a pointed arch recess with rubble infill.

Both the east and west facades of the nave contain three pointed arch headed windows with raised and chamfered surrounds. Some windows contain stained glass whilst others have plain diamond panes, and the frame styles vary. The north gable of the nave is buttressed.

The east facade of the chancel has a pointed arch window with Y tracery and a quatrefoil to the right, with a buttress to the left. The rear gable of the chancel is buttressed and features a large central four light window with intricate tracery and stained glass. The exposed west facade of the chancel is blank.

Attached to the left side of the east facade of the chancel and the southwest corner of the nave is a small gabled projection in sandstone. The south facade of this projection has a timber sheeted door set in a deep recess with pointed arch head. To the immediate left of the door is a buttressed chimney breast topped with a decorative sandstone chimney pot. To the left of the chimney breast is a tiny trefoil window. The west gable of the projection contains a pointed arch window opening with two lights and quatrefoil. The north facade of the projection is blank.

Original wrought iron gates stand to the north of the church. The graveyard lies to the east of the church with headstones dating back to 1843. A small recently built church office with kitchen and toilets stands to the west of the church, constructed in rubble with a hipped roof and pointed arch windows.

Traces of arched stonework on the walls of the nave suggest that transepts may have been part of the original plan for the church.
