Christchurch is a borough and town in the county of Dorset on the English Channel coast, adjoining Bournemouth in the west, with the New Forest to the east. Historically in Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974 and is the most easterly borough in the county. Its close proximity to the Cotentin Peninsula made it an important trading port and a potential target for invasion during the Napoleonic and Second World Wars.[1]:88–94[2]

The borough has over 300 nationally listed buildings and structures, a sample of which are described below, and more than 200 locally listed.[3]:13[4][5][6]

In England, a building or structure is defined as "listed" when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of "special architectural or historic interest" by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, a Government department, in accordance with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.[7] English Heritage, a non-departmental public body, acts as an agency of this department to administer the process and advise the department on relevant issues.[8] There are three grades of listing status: Grade I, defined as being of "exceptional interest"; Grade II*, "particularly important buildings of more than special interest"; and Grade II, used for buildings of "special interest".[9]

Christchurch has seven structures of Grade I status, 12 listed at Grade II* and 316 of Grade II status.[4][5] Three of the Grade I structures are bridges, one a church, one a Gothic mansion, one a Norman dwelling and one a Norman castle.[4]:1–5 Other structures given recognition by English Heritage include a Victorian pillar box, a 1935 telephone kiosk, a bandstand, a mausoleum (see below), a drinking fountain (see below), two entire graveyards, and two war memorials.[5]

In addition the borough has 12 scheduled ancient monuments, three nationally important archaeological sites, 12 conservation areas and four sites of special scientific interest (SSSI).[3]:13 For more information on these, see the main articles Christchurch, Dorset, Stanpit Marsh and Christchurch Harbour.

Christchurch Priory I Christchurch town centre and the Harbour are overlooked by the 11th-century Christchurch Priory. Once a monastery, it was given to the town for use as a parish church by Henry VIII after the dissolution in 1540.[10]:141 It is the longest parish church in England with a nave over 311 feet long.[11]:87 The nave and transepts are Norman with heavy columns and round arches, whereas the lady chapel is from the 14th century and more 'Perpendicular' in style. The great choir is even later, having been rebuilt in the 16th century. The Priory is famous for its Miraculous Beam, which attracts pilgrims from all over the world.[11]:87 DoE Reference: 748/1/14[4]:4 Christchurch,

Christchurch Castle I The castle ruins are of a motte and bailey construction and are of Norman origin or possibly even Saxon. It has been suggested that there may have been a castle on this spot as early as 924 AD when; after Aethelwold captured the town ramparts in 901 AD, Edward the Elder decided to fortify the town further with a wooden fort on a motte.[11]:87 After the Norman conquest (1066) the castle's defences were again strengthened with the addition of a ditch and bailey surrounded by a wooden palisade. The wooden fort was replaced; at first with another wooden structure and then in 1300, with a stone keep.[11]:89 Today the bailey is home to a bowling green and gardens, and the ditch has been filled but parts of the keep and the constable's house still stand.

The Constable's House I The Constable's House is a domestic Norman dwelling which was built within the original castle bailey in 1160, earlier than the existing stone keep. Much of the stonework survives, including a rare example of a Norman Chimney (one of only five in the country). The ground floor which has four slit windows was used as a storeroom. The upper floor accessed by steps outside and an internal staircase contained the main hall. As well as the chimney, another notable feature is the privy which extends out over the mill stream.[12] DoE Reference: 1A/18[4]:3 Christchurch,

Dr. Quartley is associated with the town's smuggling folklore. The bridge crosses the narrower of the two branches of the Avon on what was, before the bypass was constructed, the only easterly route out of the town and the only crossing point below Sopley. It has five low, round headed arches with cutwaters between and parapet above. DoE Reference: 1A/19[4]:1 Christchurch,

Highcliffe Castle I Highcliffe Castle was designed by William Donthorne for Charles Stuart, 1st Baron Stuart de Rothesay, and built between 1831 and 1835. It stands on the site of High Cliff, a Georgian mansion that had belonged to Charles Stuart's grandfather John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute. Arguably the most important remaining example of the romantic and picturesque style of architecture, Donothorne's design incorporated carved, mediaeval stonework and stained glass dating back to the 12th century.[13] DoE Reference: 13/51[4]:5 Highcliffe,

Place Mill II* Place Mill is an Anglo-Saxon watermill mentioned in the Domesday book.[14] The mill stopped working in 1908 and stood derelict until it was restored in 1981. "It is remarkable, in that it takes water from one river and spills it into a second river".[10]:4 A mill-stream is supplied from the River Avon, near to the Electricity Museum behind Bargates, and flows for nearly half a mile to the mill between the Avon and the Priory grounds, before joining the River Stour at the Town Quay.

The Perfumery/ Old Court House II The Perfumery is a 14th-century thatched property which is often referred to, and indeed listed as the old courthouse; although many local historians (including Michael A. Hodges and Sue Newman) maintain that this was next door and long gone. Nevertheless, as it is owned by the council, it can lay claim to being the oldest council house in the borough.[1]:31[11]:90 The late mediaeval timber frame was refaced in both the 18th and 19th centuries. The first floor is jettied out and the gable end has elaborate, carved, bargeboards and beams. DoE Reference: 1A/24[5]:32 Christchurch,

Ye Olde Eight Bells II Ye Olde Eight Bells is now a gift shop but once was another alehouse frequented by smugglers and central to a number of local legends. A date above the door suggests that the building dates back to 1450 AD. It was here that a young woman foiled a revenue search by sitting with a tub of brandy beneath her skirts, while she nursed a baby. It was also reported that there was a tunnel from the basement leading to the Ship in Distress at Stanpit, over a mile away.[19] The name comes from the Priory peal which at the time was seven bells (it is now twelve) and thus was a joke along the same lines of the nineteenth hole on a golf course. It closed as a public house in 1907.[1]:12 Listed as No.16 Church Street. DoE Reference: 1A/8[5]:49 Christchurch,

Perkins' Mausoleum II A fear of being buried alive led the owner of this mausoleum to request that her body not be interred, nor her coffin lid screwed down, and that it should be placed at the entrance to the priory's school so that the pupils would hear if she revived. When her husband died 20 years later in 1803, her body was removed, the structure sold, and re-erected in Priory Gardens.[20] DoE Reference: 1A/152[5]:47 Christchurch,

Bemister's Fountain II Bemister's fountain is a grade II listed drinking fountain and cattle trough erected to commemorate Samuel Bemister, a local businessman and mayor of Christchurch no less than 7 times. Constructed entirely of pink granite, the cattle trough sits on stone end blocks with heart-shaped niches in each. Below there are 3 smaller troughs for cats and dogs hollowed out from plinth. A short round column with a drinking fountain rises at one end from square base. This column is reminiscent of the town's power station chimney. It is this power station that Bemister supplied with coal brought from Southampton in his fleet of windjammers to the town quay. Built circa 1900 at the end of High St., it was moved to the quay when the bypass was built.
