History
Christ Church was founded as a replacement to a chapel on Well Walk, which had become overcrowded. The building was designed by S.W. Dawkes in the Decorated style, it was constructed between 1851 and 1852. Sir Gilbert Scott, a member of the congregation, designed an additional gallery in 1860. The church was restored in 1920.
