Overview
The Diocese of Southwark records a building of 1846–48 by John Brown and Robert Kerr, with the present church dated 1989. It was founded as a daughter church of St Alfege, West Greenwich. Victorian Web, citing Cherry and Pevsner, describes the original as Kentish rag with yellow stock-brick trimmings. The 1840s church was declared redundant in 1987 and partly demolished; the remainder became a community centre (the Forum), with halls, offices and a café inserted on three floors.
The parish now worships in a contemporary space dedicated in 1989 at the east end of the old fabric, with a gallery chapel and a peace garden. Christ Church is one of three churches in the East Greenwich Team Ministry, with St George’s, Westcombe Park, and Holy Trinity, Greenwich Peninsula. The building is not listed.
