Historique
Christ Church, Church Rise, Forest Hill was consecrated in 1854. The site had been given by the Earl of Dartmouth, lord of the manor and patron, who wanted an imposing centre piece for his Dartmouth Park estate. The estate was planned in the 1840s, but largely built in the 1850s. The foundation stone of the church was laid in 1852 although the spire was not completed until 1885. Ewan Christian was the architect.
In the 1980s, a partnership was formed with Saint Paul, Forest Hill and on 1 December 1991 the benefice and parish of Saint Paul was removed by Order in Council and Christ Church with Saint Paul, Forest Hill was created. In 2003 the parish was due to be united with Saint George, Woolstone Road, Perry Hill.
