St Christopher's Church, Pott Shrigley, Medieval parish church in Pott Shrigley, England

St Christopher's Church features a stone-slate roof, a west tower with battlements, pinnacles, and a nave with two wide aisles and a chancel.

The church originated in the late 14th century as a chapel of ease for Prestbury parish and received substantial modifications through the addition of the Downes chantry chapel.

The interior holds relocated box pews from St James' Church in Gawsworth, along with memorials to the Downes and Lowther families created by artists John Bacon and A. Gatley.

The church maintains regular Anglican services under the diocese of Chester and houses six bells, with the earliest ones dating from approximately 1499.

The churchyard contains a medieval preaching cross constructed from two large square blocks, with later components added during the late Georgian period.
