Christ Churchyard
Southgate, London Borough of Enfield, Greater London, England
In 1615, Sir John Weld, owner of the Arnos Grove estate, established the Weld Chapel in Southgate. It was a wooden structure, enlarged and altered several times to accommodate the growing population.
By the mid-19th century, the chapel was too small and dilapidated for current needs and it was felt that a larger more imposing church should be built. Christ Church was consecrated on 17 July 1862 by the Lord Bishop of London, Dr. Tait (later Archbishop of Canterbury). It was constructed in just over a year and cost £11,689.
The Weld Chapel was demolished in 1863 and its site remains marked in the old churchyard outside the west door of the church.
