CHRIST CHURCH, NEWARK
Christ Church was built in 1956 and consecrated by the Bishop of Southwell in 1958. This church replaced one of the same name built in 1836 by the architect J. D. Paine. Christ Church has a two manual organ built by Cousins of Lincoln.
On 1 December 1956, the foundation stone of the new church was Blessed by the Bishop of Southwell and laid. The oak eagle lectern, Bishop’s chair, credence table, pews, organ, brass alms dish and all the Communion plates were taken to the new church. The pews from the old church were rebuilt, lengthened and installed in the central aisle.
The old Christ Church closed for the final time on 13 October 1957. The building still stands today on Lombard Street, Newark and is used as a showroom by an interior design company.
