Standing on the site of an earlier church is the third of three churches to serve Christ Church Parish, considered because of its location to be the “middle” church. The outer walls of this rectangular structure, laid up in Flemish bond, were constructed, or superintended, by Alexander Graves. Although his name or initials do not appear, bricks in the west tympanum of the modern vestibule indicate that John Hipkins did the carpentry and the glazing. Other initials also appear. The brickwork has been much repaired. The south and west walls contain the most original fabric. Evidence suggests that the church had an altar screen and rich appointments, but all were destroyed during disestablishment. The church was revived in the 1840s, and the interior dates essentially from the twentieth century. The nearby Christ Church School (founded 1921), a boys' preparatory school, uses it as a chapel. The original churchyard was smaller. The present walls, a gift of the Garden Club of America, date from 1942. Some especially fine tombstones, such as those of the Wormeley family, survive from the colonial period.
