Christ Church was built in the late nineteenth century, consecrated in 1870. It is Victorian Gothic in style although built in stone and brick, and possesses an apsidal east end.
Externally the church is faced with granite which originally came as shipping ballast. The church is located in the centre of Silloth town and its spire is a significant landmark across the Solway Plain.
Internally the church is of brickwork in red and yellow tones.
There are some fine emboideries telling the story of Silloth, a 'pasta' Celtic Cross, and the spire holds 8 bells which are currently unringable.
The main industries in Silloth are Carr’s flour mill, transport and storage companies, the docks, two large holiday camps, six caravan sites and four residential homes. There is a primary school and a secondary school, a variety of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, banks, pubs and a hotel. The town also has a renowned 18 hole links golf course.
