St. Christopher's Church, Sneinton is a Church of England church in Sneinton Nottingham[1].
St. Christopher's Church, Sneinton was consecrated by Rt. Revd. Edwyn Hoskyns the Bishop of Southwell on 1 December 1910. It replaced a mission church which had been opened in 1885.
The church was badly damaged in the air raid on Nottingham on 8th and 9th May 1941 (the same raid which destroyed St. John the Baptist's Church, Leenside, Nottingham nearby. Only the walls were left standing. Until restoration work was completed in 1952[2], the church joined with St. Philip's Church, Pennyfoot Street, and when St. Philip's Church was demolished in 1963, its name was joined with that of St. Christopher's.
A full history of the church can be found on the Southwell DAC Church History Project website.
The 2 manual pipe organ dates from the rebuilding of the church in 1953 and is by Cousins of Lincoln. The reeds were voiced by Billy Jones. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
