Christ Church Altar and East Window
The central panels of the East Window depict the Crucifixion and Resurrection of our Lord.
The surrounding panels show:
The Garden of Gethsemane where the disciples are falling asleep Jesus carries his cross;
The women of Jerusalem weeping for Jesus;
Jesus' garments of clothing being taken by the soldiers;
The descent of the Holy Spirit on The Blessed Virgin Mary and the disciples.
Below the window is a striking World War One memorial taking the form of a marble and albaster reredos screen bearing the names of eighty servicemen from the locality who lost their lives. It was erected in 1921.

Christ Church font and columns
The stone for the font and the main church columns is understood to have come from G Clark and Co near Shrewsbury. The font was originally near the west door but was moved to the south transept when that door was closed off.
