Christchurch, Administrative borough in Dorset, England.
The borough of Christchurch extends across 52 square kilometers at the meeting point of Rivers Stour and Avon near the English Channel.
The settlement transformed from its original name Twynham to Christchurch after the construction of an Augustinian priory in 1094.
The Red House functions as both an art gallery and museum, presenting collections that document the heritage of this Dorset community.
The local transportation network connects to Bournemouth Airport, situated 3.75 miles northwest of the town center, serving 800,000 passengers annually.
