caption_attribution_description: All Souls Church, Athelstan Road, Clive Vale, Hastings, East Sussex, England. Built in 1890 by Sir Arthur Blomfield; now redundant. Listed at Grade II* by English Heritage (NHLE Code 1293681)
context_page_description: Christ Church is an Anglican church in the Ore area of the town and borough of Hastings, one of six local government districts in the English county of East Sussex. It is one of three Anglican churches with this dedication in the borough. The Decorated Gothic-style church, in the centre of a village which has been surrounded by suburban development, was built in 1858 to supplement Ore's parish church, St Helen's. The most distinctive structural feature, a corner bell turret, has been described as both "outstanding" and "very naughty" by architectural historians. English Heritage has listed the building at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.
context_section_description: Christ Church was listed at Grade II by English Heritage on 14 September 1976; this defines it as a "nationally important" building of "special interest". In February 2001, it was one of 521 Grade II listed buildings, and 535 listed buildings of all grades, in the borough of Hastings.
  The church is one of three active Anglican churches in the borough of Hastings with the dedication "Christ Church", and the earliest.  The others are at Laton Road in the suburb of Blacklands (1878–81) and on London Road in St Leonards-on-Sea (1875).
  The parish of Christ Church covers the suburb of Ore east of the railway line, north and east to the borough boundary, and south to Frederick, Mount and Edwin Roads. It has merged with the former parish of All Souls Church at Athelstan Road, Clive Vale, which closed in 2007.
  On Sundays, there are three services: a Eucharistic service at 8.00am using the Book of Common Prayer, the main service at 10.30am (using Common Worship, and including a Sunday School), and a 6.30pm service.  Daily prayer services on weekday mornings are supplemented by a Book of Common Prayer Eucharistic service on Wednesday mornings.
