Christ Church was a 'grafting' scheme from St Andrew the Great in 2004 when a group of around 100 adults and children moved with Rev.

[3] The little Abbey Church, formerly known as St Andrew the Less, on Newmarket Road, was once overshadowed by Barnwell Priory, which stood behind it, by the river.

The Abbey Church was probably built by the Augustinian Canons of the Priory in the early thirteenth century for use by the inhabitants of Barnwell.

Christ Church was consecrated by Joseph Allen, Bishop of Ely, on 27 June 1839.

This amount included a donation of £200 from Charles Perry, a keen evangelist: he was later appointed the first Archbishop of Melbourne.

[6] It receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Ebbsfleet (currently Rob Munro).
