There are some substantial headstones here perhaps indicative of the fact that Dore has long been an affluent area. Elsewhere in the churchyard smaller stones mark the graves of railway navvies and their families who died of smallpox while digging Totley Tunnel. Christ Church itself dates from 1828 and was designed by Richard Furniss (or Furness) a local schoolmaster, initially as a chapel of ease to Dronfield. Dore became a parish in its own right in 1844.
