Christ Church in Chelsea, built in the 1830s, reflects the area's transformation from a separate town to a suburban environment. Initially constructed to serve the local working population and designed on a modest budget, it became an independent parish by the 1860s. Although attendance has waned, the church was restored to form a new parish. Its gardens, designed by Ildica Post in the 1960s, invite public use and feature historical markers, creating tranquil green spaces for relaxation amidst the evolving urban landscape.
