Local area guide
Skip hire in Christchurch
Christchurch is a town in Dorset, sitting where the Rivers Avon and Stour meet at the head of a large natural harbour, with a population of around 50,000. Historically part of Hampshire until 1974, it now forms part of the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole conurbation. The town was originally called Twynham — the place between two rivers — and took its present name from the priory built here in the eleventh century. It was a Saxon burh fortified against the Danes, and traces of that defensive circuit survive.
Christchurch Priory dominates the town. At 311 feet it is the longest parish church in England, longer than many cathedrals, and it survived the Dissolution when the townspeople successfully petitioned Henry VIII to keep it as their parish church. Its most celebrated feature is the Miraculous Beam, tied to the legend that gave the town its name: a mysterious carpenter is said to have joined the congregation's work and fitted a beam cut too short, then vanished — taken to be Christ himself. The Norman nave and the fifteenth-century reredos are among the finest of their kind.
Beside the priory stand the ruins of the Norman castle and the remarkably complete Constable's House of around 1160, with one of the earliest surviving domestic chimneys in England. Christchurch Quay and the harbour are the centre of town life, with boat trips to Mudeford Sandbank, where a row of beach huts regularly changes hands for extraordinary sums. The town has a long smuggling history, and the Battle of Mudeford in 1784 was one of the most notorious confrontations between smugglers and the Revenue on the south coast.
Christchurch sits on the A35 with the A338 running north to Ringwood and the M27 to the east, and Christchurch station on the South West Main Line gives services to London Waterloo in under two hours and along the coast. Bournemouth Airport is a few miles north. Christchurch Harbour, Stanpit Marsh and Hengistbury Head — an important prehistoric and wildlife site — are all on the doorstep, with the New Forest a short distance east.
Housing in Christchurch ranges from Georgian and older property around Castle Street and Church Street — the historic core is a conservation area with a substantial number of listed buildings — to Victorian villas, extensive interwar and post-war bungalows, and modern flats and apartments around the town centre and quay. The town has consistently had one of the oldest population profiles in the country, with a very high proportion of retired residents and bungalow stock, and property values sit well above the regional average given the harbour and coastal setting.
