Christ Church, Chester, Gothic Revival church in Chester, England

Christ Church features red brick walls with stone dressings, sandstone ashlar sections, and a distinctive cantilevered timber-framed bell cote above the south porch.

The church construction occurred in stages from 1893 to 1904, with architect John Douglas completing the chancel, southeast chapel, nave, and northwest baptistry successively.

The interior contains artistic elements including an alabaster font, paintings by Westall and Schmalz, and stained glass windows crafted by Kempe throughout the late 1800s.

The church maintains regular worship services and provides community spaces for children's activities and local support services in Chester's Somerset Street.

Two separate fonts exist within the church: an octagonal stone structure from 1837 and an alabaster creation from 1904.
