A view across Ilkeston Road. The church was demolished in 1951. "Today we can still walk into the pleasant former churchyard, part of which is a children’s recreation ground and part a Garden of Rest, entered through the same iron gates set into the same Bulwell Stone wall. Part of the south wall of the nave has been left for us to see a little of the glory that was Christ Church" (The Southwell & Nottingham Church history Project website).
