Christ Church Tower, Crewe, Gothic Revival church tower in Crewe, England
The sandstone tower features a stepped parapet, buttresses at each corner, geometric tracery windows, and louvred triple-lancet bell openings reaching upward.
Originally constructed for the Grand Junction Railway in 1843, Christ Church underwent expansion with the tower added in 1877 and remained standing after church demolition in 1977.
The structure maintains a ring of ten bells cast by Gillett & Johnston of Croydon in 1912, marking time and events for local residents.
Located on Prince Albert Street, the Grade II listed tower requires special permissions for any modifications to preserve its architectural elements.
The tower once displayed an iron crown manufactured in local railway workshops, connecting the structure to Crewe's industrial heritage.
