Church of Christ the King, Birkenhead

Church of Christ the King is a Gothic Revival building constructed from red sandstone with a distinctive west tower and slate roof. The structure contains a two-bay nave without side aisles, and houses a Henry Willis & Sons pipe organ housed in a transept.

The structure was built between 1846 and 1850 by architect William Cole as a new parish church. Significant modifications came in the 1890s when the chancel was extended, and the building was renamed in 1991.

The church serves the local Anglican community as a gathering place and reflects this area's connection to faith and shared life. Visitors notice it as an active center where people come together regularly.

The building is easily accessible on foot from central Birkenhead with straightforward approach. Visitors should check when services and community events take place, as access may vary depending on religious activities.

The building was originally called St. Anne's Church before receiving its current name in 1991. This name change coincided with substantial internal renovations that transformed how the space was arranged.
