Christ Church, Ore, Anglican church in Ore district, Hastings, England
Christ Church is an Anglican place of worship in Ore featuring a distinctive corner bell turret and walls built from sandstone rubble combined with Kentish ragstone. The structure displays pointed lancet windows throughout that showcase detailed Gothic styling characteristic of the period.
Architect Alexander Dick Gough designed this Gothic-style building in 1858 to serve a growing population after the nearby St Helen parish church ran out of space. The project arose from practical need as Ore developed as a community.
The church serves as a gathering place where the local Anglican community meets for worship and community events throughout the year. It remains central to how people in Ore village connect with each other and their faith.
The church welcomes visitors on Sundays when services begin at 10:30 AM, with refreshments provided afterward. Those wishing to submit prayer requests or learn more can contact the church office in person or by phone.
The building features elaborate foliage carvings and decorative friezes above the chancel arch that showcase skilled craftsmanship of the period. These ornamental details often go unnoticed by visitors who pass through but reward closer inspection.
