Christ Church, Hepple, was founded with a bequest by Sir Walter Buchanan-Riddell, who died in 1892, and in his will left some money for the purpose of building a church and a school at Hepple.
The architect Mr C. Hodgson-Fowler adopted a simple late perpendicular style using local stone.

The church and burial ground were consecrated June 5th, 1897, by the first Lord Bishop of Newcastle, Ernest Roland Wilberforce. The church was designated as a chapel-at-ease within the ecclesiastical parish of Rothbury. A brass plate in the wall near the pulpit bears the following inscription:—"To the Glory of God, the honour of His Church and in Memory of Sir Walter Buchanan Riddell, Bart., The Pious founder of Christ Church and the School at Hepple. Born 1810, died 1892; May he rest in eternal peace."
