Christ Church, Worthing, Gothic Revival church in Worthing, England
Christ Church is a Gothic Revival building on Grafton Road, constructed with flint and Caen stone and featuring pointed arches and decorative stone details. The structure rises approximately 26 meters (85 feet) and displays the characteristic features of this architectural style.
The building was constructed between 1840 and 1843 through public subscription and later consecrated by the Bishop of Chichester to serve poor residents. Its creation reflected the community's growing need for religious spaces during this period of expansion.
The church maintains regular choir performances using the 1892 organ, which continues to shape the musical traditions of the Anglican community today. Visitors can experience these sounds during worship services throughout the year.
The church is regularly open for services and community events, offering a quiet space for reflection or prayer. Visitors should respect worship times and maintain appropriate behavior while on the grounds.
The church's burial ground holds the remains of archaeologist John Turtle Wood, who discovered the ancient city of Ephesus. This hidden connection links a modest place of worship to an extraordinary archaeological legacy.
