Christ Church is a historic Episcopal church in Lancaster County, Virginia, north of Irvington. Built in 1732–35, it is notable for its unique Georgian design, and is one of the best-preserved colonial churches in the southern United States. The church is the only colonial Virginia church that still has its original high-backed pews and one of two that has maintained its original three-tiered pulpit.
