The Story of Christ Church
Starting a Sunday School
In 1860, a Sunday School was started by another church called High Pavement Chapel. This school was in the St Ann's Well area of Nottingham. It was a place where children could learn and grow.
Building the Church
Just a few years later, in 1863, work began on a new church building. The first stone was laid at the corner of Peas Hill Road and Raglan Street. The church officially opened its doors on June 16, 1864. It was like a "daughter church" to High Pavement Chapel, meaning it was connected to and supported by the older church.
Challenges and Closing
However, Christ Church, Peas Hill faced money problems for many years. Even in 1927, High Pavement Chapel was still trying to help pay off its debts. Services at the church stopped after February 1932. The Sunday School continued for a few more years, until 1935. After that, the church building was taken down.
