Christ Church

Christ Church is a plain Commissioners' Church built in the Gothic style, featuring unpainted roughcast with limestone dressings and a low-pitched slate roof. Constructed in the 19th century, it has a broad nave and a shallow chancel, with a gallery projection to the west that includes a small bellcote. The west gable front displays triple lancets with arched hood moulds, square stops, and inset round paterae. The windows have leaded diagonal glazing with amber marginal lights, and the ornate bargeboards are decorated with stylised ballflower motifs and scalloped edges.

A single-storey stone porch has a simply chamfered stone plinth and coped gable parapets with kneelers. The Tudor-arched chamfered doorway features a plank door with vertical cover strips and a large drop handle. The nave is punctuated by plain lancet windows separated by stepped buttresses, with diagonal buttresses at the corners. A string course forms a drip mould over the window heads at impost level, and the east end has a triple lancet similar to the west front. To the south of the chancel is a small vestry with two 20th-century windows.

Inside, the vestibule leads to double doors into the nave, while a dog-leg stair with stick balusters ascends to a narrow, raked west gallery. The nave roof consists of four bays with queen-post trusses, where the soffits of the tie beams are chamfered and feature pendants below the queen posts. The trusses are supported by small cast-iron arch-braces rising from plain corbels. The lancet windows in the nave have plain chamfered heads and paterae at impost level, which form end stops to a string band of stylised egg and dart decoration between the windows. The interior includes later close-boarded pews and fittings, along with a large organ from 1888. The stained glass includes an eroded east window from 1888 by W.G. Taylor of London, the north fourth window from 1910 by Jones & Willis, and three windows by Celtic studios: the north second window from 1958, the south second window from 1972, and the south fourth window from 1957.
