Christ Church in St Albans Road was built to the serve the growing community in North Watford that lived in the rapidly expanding area of late Victorian residential housing north of the railway line. This church was built by the local firm of Darvills and consecrated in 1905. It replaced a short lived iron church of 1896. Christ Church was originally a chapel of ease to Image, but became a parish in its own right in 1909.
