Christ Church, Crewe
As Crewe was expanding rapidly as a railway town in the 1840s, a parish church was built by John Cunningham in 1843. The detached ten-bell tower, designed by railway engineer J W Stansby, was added in 1877, and the chancel in 1898. All except the chancel and tower was destroyed by fire in 1978. The tower (only) is grade II listed (list entry 1138680) and is still in use by bellringers.
