Piscina - Christ Church - Coalville, Leicestershire - Stone Church Artefacts on Waymarking.com

A bowl type Piscina in the chancel of Christ Church. Single moulded arch with christian cross at the apex.

"The church was built between 1836 and 1838. The architect was H.I. Stevens of Derby. In 1853, a chancel was added, making the building cruciform, and the church was restored between 1894 and 1895. Vestries for the clergy and choir were erected on the north side of the chancel in 1936.

The building is a plain and routine example of Early English style revival, comprising nave, trancepts, chancel and western tower. The tower contains four bells, played on a clavier and has embattled parapets; access to the church is via the main west door, located in the ground floor stage of the tower. The local historian, Edgar Hawthorn, claims that construction of the church was funded by the great engineer George Stephenson, though this assertion has been called into question by more recent historians."
