CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
Under the Union of Beneficiaries Act of 1860, the City church of St Martin Outwich (P69/MTN3) was closed, demolished and the site sold. From the proceeds, three new churches were built, including Christ Church. All were designed by Ewan Christian. The church was consecrated on 3rd January 1877. During the Second World War the church was damaged and closed. The remains were later cleared away. The parish was divided between Saint Augustine with Saint Philip (P93/AUG) and Saint Dunstan and All Saints with Saint Thomas and Saint Faith (P93/DUN).
