Christ Church, Worton, Chancel - a photo on Flickriver

            Christ Church in the Wiltshire village of Worton, near Devizes, was built in 1841; before that villagers had to walk around 2 km into Potterne to go to Church, and the nearby Methodist Chapel at Marston was much closer. The site of the church is on the south side of the village to enable it to serve Marston as well as Worton. The two villages today have a total population of around 800. The Wesleyan Chapel a few hundred metres away and now disused, was completed in 1848 despite being an easy stroll from Marston. The 1840s obviously witnessed a bit of an Anglican-vs-Methodist ecclesiastical arms race in these villages! 

This is a simple but handsome preaching box with box pews; the pulpit may be 18th Century, and therefore older than the church. It was built to designs of T.H. Wyatt, in ashlar blocks, with an octagonal stone bellcote. Christ Church is Grade II listed. Pevsner described its windows as "oddly tall, slim".
