Christ Church, Cinderhill is a historic church located in Radford, Nottingham, England. It belongs to the Church of England. This church is special because it is a Grade II listed building. This means it is an important historical building that should be protected.
History of Christ Church
Christ Church was built in 1856. It was first created as a "chapel of ease." This means it was a smaller church built to help people attend services more easily. It was connected to a larger church, St. Leodegarius Church, Basford.
Building the Church
The church was officially opened on June 19, 1856. A special ceremony called a "consecration" was held. This ceremony was led by Bishop John Jackson, who was the Bishop of Lincoln at the time. A part of the church called the choir vestry was added later in 1902.
Serving the Miners
Christ Church was built especially for the miners. These miners worked at the coal mine (called a colliery) owned by John Thomas North in Babbington. The church was designed by a famous architect named Thomas Chambers Hine.
In 1896, Cinderhill became its own separate church area. This meant that the church could have its own leaders, called chaplains. In 1929, the church's official name changed to 'The District Chapelry of Christ Church Cinderhill'. The Bishop of Southwell became the "Patron" of the church. This means the Bishop had a special role in supporting the church.
