Christ Church (CoI), 3 Ballyard Road, Trillick, Omagh, BT78 2NS

Christ Church is a detached double-height Church of Ireland, built around 1870 and located on the east side of Ballyard Road in Trillick. A robust example of High Victorian Gothic architecture, it was built by the Archdale family in a newly created parish and licensed for Divine Worship on 9 December 1872.

The church comprises a rectangular nave with a chancel to the north, a gabled vestry to the west, and a square two-stage tower with broach spire at the south-west corner. The walls are constructed of roughly coursed squared-and-snecked rubble stone with contrasting string courses at cill and head level, droved finish stepped sandstone quoins, and a projecting chamfered plinth. Roofs are pitched natural slate with lead sheeted ridges, stone verges on cyma recta moulded kneelers, a double-barrel chimney to the north apex, and square cast-iron rainwater goods.

The principal elevation faces west and is abutted at its right corner by the two-stage tower. The exposed section contains paired pointed-arched windows flanked by single windows at each side. The tower features a gabled entrance with double-leaf vertically sheeted timber doors flanked by polished granite crocketted colonettes supporting bead-moulded Gothic detailing with hoodmould. Three narrow square-headed windows appear to the left and right cheeks. The south elevation contains a single square-headed window surmounted by two marble plaques—the first reading 'THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE' and a second tablet with a recessed clock in a moulded stone surround. The upper stage contains louvred belfry openings to each elevation, surmounted by a broach ashlar spire. An intersecting angle between church and nave contains a bell tower stairwell with glazed loopholes to each face and an ashlar roof.

The north gable is abutted at its centre by a double-height gabled chancel with a slightly lower profile. The exposed section is blank. The chancel is detailed as the nave and features a herringbone slate pattern to the centre of each roof slope. The north gable contains a single tracery window and paired narrow square-headed openings to the apex. The chancel's east elevation contains a single window, while its west elevation is abutted by the vestry. The vestry is detailed as the nave with a small geometric tracery window to its west elevation and a replacement timber sheeted door within a shouldered stop-chamfered surround, accessed by a single stone step and flanked by a plinth wall with saddle-back coping.

The west elevation is five windows wide, with a central window flanked by a pair on each side. Corners are abutted by stepped angle buttresses with offsetting. The south gable contains a central geometric tracery window with hoodmould and carved stop-ends, and a projecting extended cill with carved moulded ends. A tripartite round-headed window to the apex has diminished outer windows in height.

All windows are Gothic in style, containing leaded stained glass set in stepped droved finish sandstone surrounds with splayed sandstone cills and voussoirs. The stone detailing throughout is of very good quality, and the intact and well-preserved interior contributes significantly to the overall character.

The church sits to the north of Trillick town and is bound to Ballyard Road by roughly coursed rubble walling. Access is through a set-back entrance consisting of square rubble stone pillars supporting painted cast-iron gates.
