Christ Church, Hull
| 37. WORSHIP STREET. Christ Church. This Anglican church, consecrated in 1822, the first chapel-of-ease in the parish of Sculcoates, was built so that those living in the southern part of the parish could attend worship without having to travel to the parish church of St. Mary, Sculcoates in Air Street, an unpleasant journey particularly in winter. The church was designed by William Hutchinson of Hull. White stock brick with dressings of Roche Abbey stone. In Perpendicular style. A chancel and vestry to the south by William Kerby were added in 1863. The church had seating for 1600. The church was assigned its own district in 1886. Though badly damaged by bombing in 1941, services continued under the south gallery until 1952. The building was demolished in 1962. The site is now the car park behind the New Theatre. Christ Church Schools, designed by Cuthbert Brodrick in 1849, survive next to the car park. [The Lost Churches and Chapels of Hull] |
