Background
History
Christ Church was built in 1841–42. The foundation stone was laid on 25 October 1841, and the church was consecrated on 7 October 1842 by John Sumner, Bishop of Chester. The land for the church cost £30 (equivalent to £}} in ), and the church itself cost £1,400 (equivalent to £}} in ). The cost of the land was met by Richard Greenall, vicar of St Matthew's Church, Stretton, Archdeacon of Chester, and a member of the Greenall's family, brewers in Warrington. There is no other documentary evidence that Sharpe was the architect, but owing to the stylistic similarity of the design to his other works at about the same time it has been attributed to him. A considerable restoration was undertaken…
Architecture
The church is constructed in Runcorn red sandstone, and its interior is lined with red brick. The two-manual organ was built in 1913 by Wadsworth and Brother, and may contain pipework from an earlier organ.
