Church history
Christ Church was built by Hawksmoor between the years 1714 and 1729.
For the past 300 years Christ Church has remained a Christian centre of worship and today it has thriving congregations that meet on Sundays and throughout the week. John Wesley, founder of the Methodist movement, preached here towards the end of his life, and staff members have included the 18th century curate Samuel Henshall, who invented the modern corkscrew.
Christ Church is part of the Church of England.
