The Bakers - the family who 'built' Fenton:

The first Christchurch

Ralph Bourne, in his will (d.1835), left the sum of £2,500 for the building of an Anglican church for Fenton with a sum of £1,000 for its endowment. "The remaining cost of the erection, which exceeded £3,000, was defrayed by Mrs Baker, widow of the late Mr William Baker, and sister of Mr Bourne."

Because of subsidence the original church was demolished and replaced by a larger structure (the present Christchurch) in 1890. 

The current Christchurch - built in 1890, to seat 1,900 people. 
It was designed by Charles Lynam

“Church Terrace”, a row of six houses built in brick ornamented with stone, was constructed by William Baker II partly to accommodate the school teachers and parish sexton.
