Christ Church, Moss Side, Manchester, Anglican church in Moss Side, Manchester, England.
Christ Church is an Anglican place of worship in Moss Side with striking red brick construction built in the Arts and Crafts Perpendicular style. The building features decorative stonework on its west front and a small bellcote set into the gable roof.
The building was constructed between 1899 and 1904 by architect W. Cecil Hardisty as part of Manchester's expansion during that era. It gained Grade II* listed status in 1987 due to its architectural importance.
The name reflects its role as a place of Christian worship for the Moss Side community. Inside, visitors can see how religious artifacts from other buildings have been gathered here over time, linking this space to a wider history of local religious life.
The church is situated on Lloyd Street North and is accessible to visitors. Regular services take place here, so it is best to check ahead about visiting outside of service times.
Architect W. Cecil Hardisty created this building as what many consider his finest work in Manchester, a recognition that came from architectural critic Nikolaus Pevsner. This assessment helped establish it as one of the more notable structures from that period.
