Christ Church, Weston Point, Gothic Revival church in Weston Point, England.
Christ Church is a Gothic Revival church in Weston Point featuring a cruciform layout with a tall central tower and constructed from local sandstone with geometric detailing. The building's architectural form rises prominently above the surrounding industrial landscape.
The building was constructed in 1841 after dock workers requested a location for Sunday services near their workplace. Over time, the expansion of shipping infrastructure dramatically reshaped the landscape surrounding it.
The church served a congregation of 400 people until 1995, when declining attendance led to its designation as a redundant Anglican parish building.
The church sits on private property within an active shipping facility and public access is restricted. Visitors should check current conditions beforehand as it remains part of an operational industrial site.
The building now stands on an artificial island created by the expansion of shipping infrastructure around it. Years of neglect and vandalism have altered its original appearance, making it a ghost-like structure within the industrial zone.
