They are not the same church. Christ Church was Church of England. It was destroyed in Sheffield Blitz in WW2. Zion was a non- conformist congregational chapel. This is the Find a Grave citation for Christ Church https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2437757/christ-church-churchyard

I received the same response re the documents for my great aunt who died in 1921. I will need to wait or do a FOI request even though much of the information about her was public domain because of a high court controversy regarding her will which was widely reported at the time.
West Yorkshire Archives had a recent exhibition about the asylum.

Exploring further, I find a John Armitage baptised 6 October 1672 at St Peter's Huddersfield, father Rich. Born in Fartown near Huddersfield. Then I found this https://huddersfield.exposed/wiki/Longwoodhouse_Farm,_Longwood_House_Road,_Fartown,_Huddersfield

Genuki describes it thus: "LONGWOOD HOUSE, a farm-house in the township and parish of Huddersfield, 2 miles from Huddersfield."
