Description:Christ Church Tunstall seen from Furlong Road. Built in 1831, with later additions. This is a Commissioner's Church, having been built with money provided by Parliament under the Church Building Acts. The act was meant to allow the building of Church of England churches in rapidly growing urban areas in the early 19th century. Tunstall had a population of around 800 in 1801 but had grown to over 6,500 by 1838. The church was designed to accommodate 1000 people.
Tunstall Christ Church cost just over £3000 to build in 1831 (over £3,000,000 in 2017) and is now protected as a grade II listed building.
