Church of Christ Church Aberbeeg

Christ Church is a church built in the 19th century. It has a large, prominent, south-east facing tower, a single-bay nave with north and south aisles and north and south transepts, a chancel, and a northeast vestry wing. The exterior is constructed of snecked rockfaced stone with ashlar dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof that includes terracotta ridge tiles and cruciform finials.

The south frontage is dominated by the tall, tapering tower, which is embattled with projecting corner stair turrets, gargoyles and a weathercock. The tower has large, pointed arched, louvred openings with cusped heads and tracery to the ringing chamber, divided by string courses, and narrow lancets to the stairs and tower chamber, alongside a moulded plinth. The main doorway to the church is unusually located through the tower, featuring a moulded pointed arched doorway. An entrance to the nave was never formally provided. The south transept has a large, three-light window with Perpendicular-style tracery and a hoodmould, similar to that on the north side. A similar four-light window is present in the chancel, featuring face stops, side lancets, and diagonal buttresses with offsets. Aisle windows have grouped cusped lights within a square surround, as do the clerestory windows; similar detailing also features on the north vestry, which has a separate entrance and steps leading down to a basement. The west window is three-light with similar Perpendicular-style tracery, set within a brick surround, and it reveals the unfinished north and south wall ends of the nave.

The two bays of the unfinished nave include half-round red sandstone piers with pale stone flat sides and moulded capitals. The nave and chancel have boarded roofs in shallow bays, the latter featuring a dentil moulding at the wallplate. The chancel arch is tall and pointed, with stiff-leaf capitals. In the angle between the nave and chancel are two large face corbels, and below these is a low kerb-type screen with canopywork. A stone pulpit with canopywork panels and stiff-leaf bands is also present. The north transept is open, while the south aisle is boarded off to create a chapel. The chancel is unrendered and is dominated by a wide stone reredos stretching across the east end, featuring a relief sculpture of the Last Supper and surmounted by four figures of angels. An organ is located to the north of the chancel. Metal corona light fittings are found throughout the church.
