I know that in the House of Lords they are Lords of Appeal in Ordinary, or Law Lords. Are there such titles for judges in the Courts of Appeal, or High Courts? Are there different titles for civil/criminal judges?

In the Court of Appeal they are called Lord Justices of Appeal in the Court of Appeal (LJ). In the high court/crown court etc they are Justices, and should be addressed as Your Honour. The High Court consists of several divisions, and all High Court judges whether civil or criminal are called the same. Note also that High Court judges often sit as crown court judges in criminal cases.
Magistrates are known as Justices of the Peace (JPs). The names aren't different for civil and criminal. Note though, that the court of the House of Lords is being abolished and will become known as a Supreme Court and Law Lords will probably be known as Justices of the Supreme Court in the future.

Justices of the Peace and Justices of the Supreme Court are known as Justices, though a Justice of the Peace is far and few between these days. Judges of the court (Criminal and Civic, Appeals and Circuit) are simply known as Judge. (Judge John Smith) Judges of the Chancery court are known as Chancellor. (Chancellor John Smith)

County Court:
District Judge is called 'Sir' or 'Madam', dependant on their gender. Circuit Judge is called 'Your Honour'.

Magistrates Court:
You adress the bench as 'Your Worship' or 'Your Worships' if more than one.(usually three).

Crown Court: 'Your Honour'

High Court and Court of Appeal: 'M'Lord' or M'Lady'
