Christ Church is in Christchurch Road, Oxton, Birkenhead, Wirral, Merseyside, England.
[3] It cost £9,000 to build (equivalent to £1,180,000 in 2023),[4] and was opened for worship on 25 February 1849, although it was not consecrated until 3 March 1854, this ceremony being conducted by the Rt Revd John Graham, bishop of Chester.
Using the slope of the ground, two staircases were built to provide extra exits, and two rooms were added at the lower level.
[6] A special edition of Songs of Praise was broadcast in November 2018 from the church to mark the centenary of the death of war poet Wilfred Owen who was a member of the congregation in his youth.
At the east end, the aisles have paired lancets, and a doorway at the lower level.
Much of the stained glass, including that in the east window and on the north side of the church, was destroyed by a landmine during the Second World War.
The stained glass in the windows on the south side of the church was given as memorials; one of them depicts a scene from The Pilgrim's Progress.
The organ was not damaged by the land mine, and it was cleaned and overhauled in 1948, again by the Willis firm.
