Christ Church is in Beech Street, off Todmorden Road, Bacup, Lancashire, England. It is a former Anglican parish church in the deanery of Rossendale, the archdeaconry of Bolton and the diocese of Manchester.[1] The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[2]
History
The church was built in 1854, and paid for from the legacy of a local manufacturer, James Heyworth. It was designed by the Lancaster firm of architects Sharpe and Paley. The church cost over £3,000 (equivalent to £Шаблон:Inflation in Шаблон:Inflation-year),Шаблон:Inflation-fn and contained seating for 500 people.[3][4] In 2012 it was decided that the church will close, and its congregation will share the premises of the Central Methodist Church.[5] Its last service was held on 26 August 2012, and it was thereafter closed.[6]
Architecture
Exterior
Christ Church is constructed in sandstone rubble with a slate roof. Its architectural style is Gothic Revival. The plan consists of a southwest tower, a four-bay nave with north and south aisles, a porch, and a clerestory, and a two-bay chancel. The tower is in three stages and has diagonal buttresses rising halfway up the tower. At its southeast corner is a polygonal stair turret rising to a greater height than the tower and surmounted by a pinnacled lantern. It has a three-light west window in the lowest stage with smaller three-light windows in the middle stage on the west and south sides. The top stage contains two-light bell openings and at the top is a plain parapet. At the west end of the body of the church are triple two-light windows with a wheel window above them in the gable. At the east end is a triple lancet window.[2]
Interior
The reredos is in stone with blind arcades, crockets, and images of faces. The pulpit is in a similar style.[2][3] The church contains a pair of stained glass windows by Shrigley and Hunt.[3]
Future
After 8 years of closure, the Church of England is currently in the process of selling the building, for the purpose of conversion into offices,[7] to local digital marketing agency GrowTraffic.[8][9]
Planning permission was granted for this redevelopment in April 2023.[10]
