Excerpt from Wikipedia
Christ Church (grid reference ST571739) is a Church of England parish church in Clifton, Bristol, England. It has been designated as a Grade II.
History
The church was built in 1841 by Charles Dyer. The steeple was built in 1859 by John Norton, and the aisles in 1885 by William Basset Smith.
In 2015 the church was closed for two weeks after the steeple was damaged in high winds.
The Anglican parish is part of the benefice of Christ Church with Emmanuel, Clifton which falls within the Diocese of Bristol. It is affiliated with the New Wine Network.
Architecture
The cruciform limestone building has a slate roof. It was built in the Early English Gothic Revival style. There is an octagonal apse. The north transept is supported by buttresses.
The steeple above the five-stage tower reaches 65 metres (213 ft). At its base is a doorway with Purbeck marble shafts. Inside the church is a west gallery supported by cast iron columns with timber cladding.
A replica of the church exists in Thames Town, a suburb of Shanghai built in a style imitative of English architecture.
