Christ Church is bounded by Lammas Street on its west side and the B4132 on its north. In the early nineteenth century the site was the intended location for the propsed new church needed to accomodate some of the growing congregation of St Peter's Church. This new church was to be known as St Paul's. However, the site's benefactor was not invited to the laying of the foundation stone, and consequently withdrew her gift of land. Instead, the new church was built in Picton Terrace and dedicated to St David. Christ Church was built in 1867 in order to provide a seperate place of worship for the English-speaking members of St David's Church (NPRN 100103). The church was dedicated in 1869. Christ Church's first bell was found as ballast on Swansea quay in 1864, inscribed from a church in Santiago, Chile.
