Church of Christchurch

The Church of Christchurch is a Grade II listed building featuring a corrugated sheeting and iron structure, now covered with timber horizontally boarded cladding, a brick plinth, and shingled roofs. The church has aisles and a spire located at the north-west. The east end, which faces the street, steps down from the nave and has crucifix finials on both gable ends. The windows include diamond-leaded glazing in various styles: two-light cusped windows with a quatrefoil above in the aisles, twelve quatrefoil windows in the clerestory on each side, a three-light east window, and an Early English style triple-lancet west window. There are also square-headed two-light windows with a cusped transom above in the vestries at the east end. The west aisle ends feature flatter arched doorways, and there is a brick chimney on the south-west. The square tower has a belfry with a two-light cusped window with a quatrefoil above on each face, topped with a shingled broach spire that gives it a Home Counties appearance.

Inside, the church was originally timber boarded and features a unique timber arcade of four bays with quatrefoil-section piers. These piers support wall-shafts that rise to the four scissor truss roof, which has iron tie-rods. This use of timber in church interiors is relatively rare, with early examples including John Prichard's St. Clement in Briton Ferry from 1864-1866 and designs by Chester architect John Douglas in the 1870s and later. The easternmost bay of the arcade overlaps with the chancel, which contains choir-stalls and an organ bay in the aisle, along with a single bay sanctuary. There is a painted inscription around the east window, and evidence suggests a similar inscription once existed on the chancel arch. Some clerestory windows feature coloured glass. The furnishings include an octagonal pulpit and a Gothic organ case. The doors are diagonally boarded, and slight variations in the lap-boarding are related to restoration work completed in 1958.
