Set back from North Street, Christchurch is a Church in Wales church in the Diocese of Monmouth. Cadw records that this was an iron church built in 1879 for the Marquis of Abergavenny as a chapel-of-ease to St Mary's Parish Church, to serve the then growing community on his Nevill Hall estate land. Unusually for this type of building the church is aisled and has a spire to the NW. In 1958 it was renovated - the exterior was clad in timber giving the church its present distinctive character. Grade II Listed for its special interest as a surviving later 19th century corrugated iron church with an ambitious contemporary interior and also for the unusual nature of the later remodelling.
