Christ Church, Over Wyresdale, stands in an isolated position to the west of the village of Abbeystead, Lancashire, England. The church has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.[1] It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Blackburn, the archdeaconry of Lancaster, and the deanery of Lancaster. Its benefice is combined with those of St Mark's, Dolphinholme and St Peter's, Quernmore.[2]

The church dates from 1733 and it was restored in 1894 by the Chester architect John Douglas who added a spire to the tower and built a new chancel.[3] It is built in sandstone rubble with slate roofs and consists of a west tower, a nave with a lower chancel, a south porch, and a north vestry.[1] The pulpit is dated 1684.[3]
