Christ Church Long Hanborough

I had forgotten I had visited this church as it was quite a long time ago I took the photos but passing it recently reminded me . No internal photos as the church was locked but a little history form their website

"Christ Church was designed by E.H.L. Barker and was built in 1893 on the north side of the main road that runs through Long Hanborough (now known as the A4095).

Until the late 18th century, St Peter and St Paul in Church Hanborough was the only place of worship. By the 1890s it was realised that dwindling congregations were partly due to the need to walk from Long Hanborough. So to deal with this, the resident rector had a "mission church" build - and so Christ Church came into existence"

I will leave you with this view of the church which was taken a few months ago and which jogged my memory of visiting.

Take care till next time I wish you a peaceful weekend
