Church of Christ
GV II
Church, formerly probably of the Holy Epiphany Lache and
Saltney Parish. 1855. By James Harrison. Red sandstone with
grey slate roof, gable towards road.
EXTERIOR: west front has double framed and boarded doors on
wrought-iron hinges in a moulded Gothic archway set in a
projecting panel with side-buttresses; diagonal stepped
buttresses at corners; triple lancets with sharply pointed
ogee arches above entrance. Except for the entrance panel the
masonry is rock-faced squared snecked rubble. Coped gable with
kneelers and cross-gabled finials.
The 4-bay nave has stepped buttresses, some to south badly
eroded, and lancets. Lower, narrower, one-bay chancel has
diagonal corner buttresses, a small pair of lancets with a
trefoil window in east gable above. The nave windows appear to
have Art Nouveau glass.
INTERIOR: the nave has boarded floor, boarded dado, plastered
walls, 3 arched trusses and exposed purlins and rafters.
Original pews; the room east of nave, probably formerly the
chancel, is now walled off up to the springing of the arch
which contains loft with pipe organ.
HISTORICAL NOTE: James Harrison had prepared more ambitious
plans for a church capable of extension, at the junction of
Boundary Lane and Green Lane, Saltney and there was to have
been a school for 140 children. The more modest building
adjacent to the north side of the church, not included in this
item, appears to have been designed as a school, mid C19.
