Christ Church is a parish church in the Church of England in Chilwell, Nottinghamshire.

History

Originally a mission church created from the parish of St. Mary's Church, Attenborough, Christ Church was built between 1901[1] and 1903. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Southwell Rt. Revd. Edwin Hoskyns on 3 July 1915.[2]

New vestries were added in 1950[3] and the chancel was added in 1957 by the architect Eric Vernon Royle.

It has a daughter church of St. Barnabas Church, Inham Nook.

Organ

The first organ in the church was a one-manual instrument by Groves of London which was originally erected in St Mary's Church, Attenborough on 12 May 1857.[4]

A two manual organ by Gray and Davison with 16 stops was installed in 1937[5] The work was carried out by the organist, Norman Buttler of Long Eaton. This organ was overhauled by Ernest Wragg in 1956.[6] In 1986 this organ was moved to St Vincent's Church, Caythorpe.

The current organ was built by Nigel Church in 1984 with modern mechanical action.[7]
