Christ Church is the parish church of Great Ayton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

From the Saxon period to the early 19th century, All Saints' Church, Great Ayton was the local parish church. Between 1876 and 1877, a replacement was built on a new site, with All Saints becoming a mortuary chapel. [1] It was designed by John Ross and Robert Lamb, [2] in a 14th-century Gothic style. [1] Nikolaus Pevsner describes the building as "restless composition, and an uninteresting interior". [3] It was grade II listed in 1966. [2]

The church is built of sandstone with a Welsh slate roof, and is in Decorated style. It has a cruciform plan, consisting of a nave, a west narthex, north and south aisles, a south porch, a north transept steeple, and a chancel. The steeple has a tower with two stages, angle buttresses, traceried bell openings, and a broach spire with bands of red sandstone and lucarnes. Inside are preserved three pre-Conquest stones, brought from All Saints. [2] [3]
