Christ Church is an Anglican church in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. It is the parish church of Goldenhill and Tunstall; the combined parish, which is an Anglo-Catholic parish, was created in 2010.[1] It is a Grade II listed building.
The church is a Commissioners' church, designed by Francis Bedford and built in 1831–1832. £3,000 of the total cost was provided by parliamentary grant, and the remaining £1,000 by private subscription. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield, Henry Ryder, on 14 August 1832.[2] [3]
The church was built of Chell stone. It has lancet windows, in pairs or single; the tower originally had an octagonal spire, which was removed in 1971 for safety reasons. In 1885–1886 the east end was redesigned by A. R. Wood: a larger chancel was created, flanked by a south chapel and by an organ chamber, and two shallow transepts were created.[2] [3]
There was originally a single bell, which was replaced by a peal of six bells in 1856. Two more were added in the early 20th century.[2] [3]
