The need for a new church was pronounced by Archdeacon Daubeney, citing the nearest church was over four miles away. He ordered Christ Church to be founded in 1824, with its prominent architecture occupying a prime spot on Rode Hill. However, competition from St Lawrence and spiralling repair costs eventually forced its closure in 1995. It is now in private hands.
