Christ Church in Long Hanborough, built in 1893 to the designs of E H L Barker, is a small church comprising chancel and nave with south porch and west belfry. The north, south, and west windows are lancets, the east is in 14th-century style. A kitchen and lavatory were added on the north in 1979. On the north wall of the chancel is a memorial tablet to William Wynne Wilson, rector 1891-1906, who was responsible for building the church.
Until the late 18th century, St Peter & St Paul in Church Hanborough was the only place of worship. By the 1890s it was realised that Long Hanborough needed a worship centre of its own. So, to deal with this, William Wynne Wilson, rector had a "mission church" commissioned, and so Christ Church came into existence at the heart of the village.
