The Buildings

​

Christ Church, Crookham was consecrated in 1841 for the people of Crookham Village and the Church School added some years later. The leading English churchman and poet, John Keble (b.1792 – d.1866) worshipped at Christ Church when visiting his friends in the nearby village of Dogmersfield. Christ Church is designated as Grade 2* Listed by English Heritage mainly due to George Sumner’s beautiful Sgraffito work in the chancel.  

​

The chancel was enlarged in 1877 when a Children’s Aisle was built, now known as the Lady Chapel. This is a quiet space for private prayer.

 

The Church Hall, called the 'Vestry Hall', was added on the south side of the church building  in the 1960s, and has a newly refurbished modern kitchen and toilets and is used for church meetings, social functions and by various community groups. There is disabled access and facilities. 

​

Attached to the hall is a newly built smaller building known as the 'Jubilee Annexe', completed in 2013 and contains a modern, comfortable, meeting room, the Parish Office and further toilets including one with disabled access. The meeting room known as the 'LeFroy Room' can be booked for commercial use.
