Christ Church, Croft

Christ Church displays red sandstone walls and slate roofs, with a square tower featuring angle buttresses and a hexagonal spire at the southwest corner.

The construction of this Grade II listed building began in 1832 with a grant of £1,457 from the Church Building Commission toward the total cost of £2,667.

Thomas Penyngton Kirkman, a mathematician recognized for Kirkman triple systems, served as rector of the church from 1839 until 1892.

The church maintains regular Anglican services within the deanery of Winwick and diocese of Liverpool, accessible through Lady Lane in Croft.

The interior presents a west gallery and colored marble reredos, complemented by stained glass windows created by Mayer of Munich and Shrigley and Hunt.
