The east arm of Christ Church houses the chancel area, and unlike the other three arms of the church, there is no doorway here. The east side is marked by two large compass-head windows in the chancel end and one on each side of the chancel arm. The north and south transepts also have a compass-head window on their east sides which complement those in the chancel end.
The three English table tombs of Robert Carter, Betty Carter, and Judith Carter stand just outside the east end. There is also a small, flat marker for Mary Carter, a granddaughter of Robert Carter, and a small plaque set in stone to commemorate the restoration of the Carter tombs.
The east side has survived largely intact and retained much of its original character over the years despite repointing in the brickwork, conservation of the entablature, replacement of glass, conservation of the window sash, and restoration of the Carter tombs. |
 The east side of Christ Church presents a bold, powerful statement and reveals the level of craftsmanship and design in all elements of the church. The tombs of Robert Carter, his two wives, and a granddaughter stand on the east end. Carter's is shown here covered with a blue tarp as conservators finish work on the Carter tombs project in 2006. |
