Christ Church, Heaton Norris

Christ Church consists of the remains of a redundant Anglican church on Wellington Road North in Heaton Norris, a suburb of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. Only the tower and part of the walls of the aisles survive. They are located on the crest of a hill on the main road linking Stockport with Manchester. The church remains are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building, and are under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. History The church was built between 1844 and 1846 on land donated by Wilbraham Egerton of Tatton Park. It cost about £7,000 (equivalent to £706,000 in 2025), and was a Commissioners' church; the Church Building Commission providing a grant of £500 towards its building. It was designed by the Manchester architect William Hayley. As originally built, it consisted of a nave, north and south aisles, north and south transepts, a chancel, and a west tower with a spire. By the 1970s the fabric of the church was in very poor condition, including the effects of dry rot. Attempts were made to convert it into a centre for the use of the community, but these were unsuccessful, and in 1977 it was badly damaged by a fire. Following this, it was demolished apart from the tower and spire, and parts of the adjoining walls. The foundations of the other walls have been preserved to show its original plan. Few of the fittings or furniture have survived; they were either destroyed in the fire or have been stolen. Several of the memorial plaques from within the church had, however, been removed prior to the fire and are now in All Saints' Church, Heaton Norris, along with the Christ Church Mother's Union banner, which has been recently restored (2014). The five clock bells, made by Warner in 1896, were stolen in 1977. The church was declared redundant on 20 July 1973, and the remains of the church were vested in the Trust on 23 May 1979. Architecture Christ Church is constructed in yellow sandstone with a Welsh slate roof. Its architectural style is Early English. The tower is in four stages, and it has a tall, slender spire. On the west side of the lowest stage is a portal, and above this in the next stage is a west window with plate tracery. On the north and south sides of this stage are paired lancet windows. In the third stage are circular openings that formerly housed the clock faces and in the top stage are paired bell openings. On the summit is a pierced parapet, with tall pinnacles at the corners and smaller intermediate pinnacles. In the Buildings of England series, it is stated to be Hayley's "most ambitious surviving work". External features The churchyard contains the war graves of five soldiers of the First World War.

Christ Church, Lambeth

Christ Church, Lambeth, England, was founded by the Rev Dr Christopher Newman Hall in 1876 as a Congregational chapel, on Westminster Bridge Road. It drew its congregation largely from Surrey Chapel. Christ Church formed part of a complex of new mission buildings, including the Lincoln Tower and a new premises for Hawkstone Hall. On Newman Hall's retirement, it passed to F. B. Meyer. The modern-day chapel Christ Church was rebuilt on a smaller scale in the late 1950s and early 1960s, following the destruction of the original church during the Second World War, and was combined with Upton Chapel (Baptist), which had also been destroyed during the war (the Lambeth Road Upton Chapel had been built in 1862, providing a purpose-built chapel for baptist meetings that had been originated in 1785 by James Upton). The chapel is now known, in this combined form, as Christ Church & Upton Chapel United Reformed, and more recently as Church.co.uk, Waterloo following its association with the Oasis Trust. The tower is occupied by Shiva Limited. The chapel is inconspicuous, being integrated into an office block of a modernist architectural style. Its interior is used as a café as well as a chapel. Here, a plaque, dating from 1894, has been displayed – salvaged from the chapel built by Newman Hall. It reads: A stained glass window illuminates the chapel from the east. On the exterior of the chapel, a foundation stone records details its rebuilding in 1959. The architect was P. J. Darvall ARIBA, the minister was Rev. P. Saunders, and the stone was laid by J. Rider Smith. In between 2013 and 2014 the whole church site was converted into Oasis Academy Southbank, a secondary academy school, part of the Oasis Academy network. The chapel was converted into a sports hall. The stained glass window has been boarded up due to its out date depictions of black people and slavery. The Victorian chapel The Victorian Christ Church was bombed during World War II, and only the adjoining Lincoln Memorial Tower remains. The original foundation stone of Newman Hall's Christ Church was salvaged after the war, and has been placed at the foot of the nearby Tower on Westminster Bridge Road.

Christ Church, North Shields

Christ Church is a church North Shields, in the county of Tyne and Wear, England is an Anglican church in the parish of North Shields Christ Church, Diocese of Newcastle. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building, Early history Christ Church was the first church to be built in North Shields, originally a small fishing village created by Prior Germanus of Tynemouth Priory in the thirteenth century. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the Priory's decaying church had been used for worship by Tynemouth and North Shields residents, but in the mid-seventeenth century a replacement was needed, and Christ Church was begun in 1654. The original architect of the church is not known, but in 1663 the Yorkshire architect Robert Trollope was engaged to complete it, and it was consecrated on 5 July 1668 by John Cosin, Bishop of Durham. In 1786, the Newcastle builder and architect John Dodds began to add a west tower to the church; this was completed in 1788. In 1792–3, the whole of the rest of the church was rebuilt to Dodds's designs, thus obliterating the work of Trollope and his predecessor(s). Architecture John Grundy and Grace McCombie describe Dodds's Christ Church as "less ambitious" than the contemporary All Saints Church, Newcastle upon Tyne. Dodds had submitted plans for All Saints, but it was David Stephenson whose designs were chosen. Exterior Christ Church was built of sandstone ashlar masonry, with a roof of Welsh slate. The battlemented three-storey west tower has a double-door, circular and round-headed windows and a belfry. The nave comprises three bays. The central north and south bays have doors with large round windows above and ornamental fanlights; the other bays have round-headed windows. The apse at the east end forms the chancel, enlarged in 1869. The piers and walls to the west and south of the church are Grade II listed buildings. The free-standing building with the hipped roof and windows similar to those in the church is the former vestry. Interior All of the nave's aisles are the same height as the rest of the church. The walls are plastered and the ceilings flat. The nave arcades have elliptical arches ("as shallow as Soane liked them") on thin Tuscan columns. The north and south galleries were removed during renovations to the church in 1951, but the west gallery, supported by cast iron columns, remains. In the gallery is the organ, previously in the chancel, now housed in a mahogany case including panels from the 1884 corvette HMS Calliope. In the south aisle is an eighteenth-century font. Monuments Inside the church at the east end are two stone grave covers, commemorating a former vicar, Stephen Dockwray, who died in 1681, and members of the Howlett family, who died in 1683 and 1694. Outside, south of the church tower, is the Grade II chest tomb of Edward Hodgson, a cordwainer and one of the founders of the church, who died in 1690.

Christ Church, Spitalfields

Christ Church, Spitalfields ist eine anglikanische Kirche im Londoner Stadtteil Spitalfields. Erbaut wurde Christ Church, Spitalfields 1714 bis 1724 durch den Architekten Nicholas Hawksmoor im Rahmen des 1711 vom britischen Parlament verabschiedeten Kirchenbauprogramms für Fünfzig Neue Kirchen. Das Bauwerk ist im Stil des englischen Barockklassizismus unter Einschluss von palladianischen Elemente ausgeführt. Dem Kirchenbau vorgesetzt ist ein monumentaler Westbau mit einem Portikus in Form eines monumentalen Palladiomotivs, das sich nochmals im Mittelteil des von einem gotischen Steilhelm bekrönten Turms wiederholt. Als längsgerichtete Basilika über Arkaden mit korinthischen Säulen, und abgeschlossen durch eine Kassettendecke, erinnert die Kirche zunächst an Vorbilder der italienischen Renaissance, wie etwa San Lorenzo in Florenz von Filippo Brunelleschi. Innerhalb des längsgerichteten Raums ist jedoch durch Ausbildung zweier Säulenstellungen als Pfeiler mit Halbsäulenvorlagen ein quadratischer Mittelbereich ausgebildet und die Querachsen des so ausgegrenzten Zentralraums im Sinne einer Raumdynamik betont. Der in einem Palladiomotiv endende Chorraum wird vom Schiff durch eine Chorschranke mit doppelter Säulenstellung abgegrenzt, eine gleichartige Säulenstellung definiert die gegenüberliegende Orgelempore. Infolge eines Brandes im Jahre 1836 hatte das Bauwerk um 1850 gravierende Veränderungen durch den Abbau der Emporen in den Seitenschiffen und die damit verbundene Verlängerung der Seitenfenster nach unten, das Schließen der Eingänge in den Querachsen und die Vereinfachung des Turmhelms erfahren. Aufgrund des vernachlässigten Bauzustands der Kirche wurden im Rahmen einer vollständigen Restaurierung von 1987 bis 2004 alle Veränderungen zurückgenommen und die ursprüngliche Raumwirkung wiederhergestellt. Zugleich wurde auch die originale, später veränderte Orgel von 1735 mit ihrem originalen Prospekt restauriert. Die abschließende Restaurierung der Krypta erfolgte 2015 bis 2016.

Церковь Христа (Спиталфилдс)

Церковь Христа — англиканская церковь в районе Лондона Спиталфилдс, Великобритания. Была построена в 1714—1729 годах по проекту Николаса Хоксмура. Одна из первых так называемых «комиссионерских» церквей церквей, возведённых для Комиссии по строительству пятидесяти новых церквей, после «Великого лондонского пожара» 1666 года согласно акту парламента 1711 года. История В марте 1711 года в палате общин был представлен доклад о населении и количестве церквей в приходах Вестминстера, Лондона и прилегающих территорий. Согласно парламентскому комитету, 342 000 жителей не имело доступа к церкви. Исхода из расчёта, что одна церковь рассчитана на 4750 прихожан, было постановлено, что необходимо строительство 72 церквей, но с вычетом французских протестантов и внеконфессиональных жителей было принято решение о возведении 50 церквей. Церковь Христа была одной из шести церквей, спроектированных Николасом Хоксмуром для комиссии. Проект Хоксмура был утверждён в апреле 1714 года, строительство началось осенью того же года. Первый камень фундамента был заложен в 1715 году. Строительные работы затянусь до 1729 года и обошлись в 40 000 фунтов. Архитектура Архитектура церкви Христа демонстрирует характерный для творчества Николаса Хоксмура стиль позднего английского барокко и начала классицизма с романо-готическими реминисценциями, характерными для «стиля королевы Анны» и раннегеоргианского периода культуры Великобритании. Композиция храма определяется продольным нефом с трёхступенчатой башней западного фасада, обработанной классицистическим ордером и увенчанной романо-готическим шатром. Как и в других лондонских церквях Хоксмура, центральная часть нефа организована вокруг двух осей. Короткая ось трансепта подчёркнута двумя выходами, из которых сохранился только южный. Плоский потолок богато декорирован и освещён верхним рядом окон. Венецианское окно на востоке может свидетельствовать о влиянии «палладиевой архитектуры», либо быть рифмой арочному фронтону входного портика. Восточное окно является двойным, но этот элемент скрывается за более поздними витражами викторианской эпохи. Примечания
