Church Of Immanuel

The Church of Immanuel, also known as Feniscowles Parish Church, was built in 1836 by Edmund Sharpe. It is constructed from dressed grey gritstone and features a slate roof. The church consists of a nave and chancel combined, with a west tower topped by a spire, designed in the early Perpendicular style.

The short, two-stage tower is integrated with the nave and has diagonal buttresses with moulded weatherings. Originally, it was finished with pinnacles, but only the bases remain, along with an inner set of pinnacles at the corners, which are now missing. The first stage of the tower includes a two-light west window, while the second stage is set back and has chamfered rectangular belfry louvres adorned with trefoil tracery and hoodmoulds. The tower is capped with a set-back octagonal spire that features lucarnes.

The nave has three and a half bays, with a moulded sill band. The south side has a projecting first bay with a roof that extends over it, which includes a short gabled porch. This porch has a two-centred arched doorway, moulded in two orders, with a band following the arch and a cross at the apex. Both the bay and the porch are supported by diagonal buttresses. The other bays on the south side have flat-headed windows with four, five, and one light, featuring chamfered surrounds, ogee-headed trefoil tracery, and hoodmoulds, separated by buttresses. The north side is more irregular, with windows of one, five, one, one, and two lights, also separated by buttresses. The east window is a three-light arched window with decorated tracery.

Inside, the church has a single vessel with a flat ceiling. There is a west balcony supported by slim iron columns, which holds a large organ in the center. A 20th-century screen is mostly open, with only small Gothic-style tracery in the heads. The church was built at the expense of the Fielden family of Feniscowles.
