The Old Church
Started in 1850, Christ Church was designed by Charles Parker in an Italianate style. It was funded by Alexander Raphael MP, who intended it to be a Roman Catholic Church, to be known as St Raphael's, although wasn't completed by the time of his death. The site was sold by his executors to Mrs Isabella Worley of New Barnes (now Sopwell House), who paid for its completion and who had it adopted by the Church of England. It was consecrated on 18 April 1859. It became redundant in the 1970s, the congregation in 1974 moving out to the site of a daughter church, St Andrews, on the New Green Estate, more appropriately sited for the community it served, with a new building opened in 1980 known as Christ Church Centre.
The old Christ Church was then converted to offices, known as The Old Church.
