CHRIST CHURCH, IVE GILL, CUMBERLAND - A  little new church, costing £1,500, by Mr. Withers. It has a nave 40 feet 6 in. by 21 feet 8 inches; a chancel 22 feet 9 in. by 17 feet, 8 inches; and a north-western vestry. The altar has no footpace; but for this, we believe, the architect is not responsible. There are stall **form seats in the chancel, and a kind of reading-seat on the north side. The pulpit is at the south-eastern angle of the nave. A good belfry-turret and good windows make this unpretending design very church-like in effect. [Ecclesiologist February 1867 page 58]

Built at the sole expense of Rev Arthur Emilius Hutton of Southampton. The East and West windows are by O’Connor of London and depict The Last Supper and the four Evangelists and four major Prophets. Other windows showing floral and fruit designs are by Powell of Whitefriars. The oak reredos has three elaborately carved panels along with six illuminated metal panels depicting the Ten Commandments. These latter are the work of Creighton & Scott of Carlisle.
