Introduction

The original Christ Church was erected on the north side of Lombard Street in 1836-7. The architect was W. A. Nicholson of Lincoln.

It is built of stock brick and stone in Early English style, and consists of a chancel and nave with three gables and groups of three lancets at each end. There is a tall lancet arch to the straight-ended chancel. Inside there are galleries on cast iron columns.

The church was restored and a new organ installed in 1880.

A new Christ Church was build on Boundary Road, Newark, in 1958. Old Christ Church was declared redundant in 1962 and sold for use as commercial premises.
