History
Christ Church was built in 1838–39, and designed by Edward Welch.[2] It was a Commissioners' Church, having received a grant towards its construction from the Church Building Commission.[3] The total cost of the church was £1,560 (equivalent to £120,000 in 2021)[4] towards which a grant of £400 was given.[3] When St Paul's Church was built on a different site in the town in 1884, Christ Church became its chapel of ease.[5] Christ Church was declared redundant on 1 November 1980, and on 7 April 1982 it was approved for use as an office or for shopping.[6] As of 2013, it is in use as a restaurant.[7]
Architecture
The church is in Neo-Norman style.[2] It is built in ashlar stone with a slate roof. The church consists of a six-bay nave and a short chancel under one roof. At the west end is a two-stage tower. In the bottom stage of the tower are angle pilaster buttresses and a round-headed west door. The second stage contains two lancet windows on three of its sides, and above this is an octagonal drum.[1] There was originally a spire, but this has been removed.[2] Along the sides of the nave are pilaster buttresses and round-headed lancet windows. The east window consists of five stepped lancets. On the south side of the chancel is a priest's door.[1] The interior has been altered, but three panelled galleries have been retained.[2]
