Background
History
Christ Church was built in 1867–71, designed by Culshaw and Sumners, and paid for by George Horsfall. The church cost about £20.000 to build (equivalent to £|r=-4}}}} in ), and was consecrated by the Rt Revd William Jacobson, bishop of Chester, on 27 April 1871.
Architecture
Inside the church the arcades are carried on slender quatrefoil piers that have capitals carved with foliage. The nave has a hammerbeam roof. The sanctuary floor and the reredos date from 1930, and were designed by Bernard Miller. The stained glass in the apse appears to be contemporary with the church, and was possibly designed by Hardman. In the south aisle are two windows dating from the early 20th century by Gustave Hiller; one of which has a depiction of the east end of Liverpool Cathedral. There are also two windows by Shrigley and Hunt. The original pipe organ had three manuals and was built by C. and J. Whiteley. This was superseded by an organ, also with three manuals, by Willis.
Description
The church now forms part of a united benefice with St Michael-in-the-Hamlet. Christ Church subscribes to the Inclusive Church statement of belief: The church meets for worship every Sunday at 10.30am, with Holy Communion twice a week. The church also meets informally through the week, and is involved in community activities, including operating a community pantry.
