Biographical history

Christ Church was opened as a chapel of ease to Saint Giles, South Mimms in 1845. It was built principally at the cost of Captain Trotter of Dyrham Park, who purchased part of Four Acre field from George Byng of Wrotham Park in 1844. He first erected a minister's house and a school in which services were held. In 1852 the church was consecrated and in 1853 a conventional district was assigned to it. An independent parish was created in 1884. The church, a flint building with stone dressings, was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Early English style. It has undergone various alterations over the years. The Pennefather Memorial Hall (named for Revd William Pennefather, the second incumbent) was erected in 1907.
