Emmanuel Church

Emmanuel Church is a church built between 1868 and 1870 by the architectural firm Myres, Veevers & Myres. It is constructed of red brick, with some blue, black, and white brick, and features sandstone dressings and slate roofs. The church includes a nave with a south-west tower, north and south transepts, a chancel, and apsidal vestries attached to the east side of the transepts. It showcases a mix of Early English and Decorated architectural styles.

The tower is notable for its angle-buttresses that rise to the belfry stage, along with corner pilasters. It has small circular windows and lancets at the lower stage, accented by blue bands arched over them. The belfry stages feature a chequered band and tall coupled belfry windows that are triple-recessed, with slender shafts in the centre and carved imposts around the pilastered corners. Above is a carved band with prominent corner gargoyles shaped like winged beasts, a parapet with two pierced bands (the upper one made of stone), and octagonal corner pinnacles.

The west front of the five-bay nave has a shallow rectangular porch, which is now mostly covered by a glazed extension. This porch includes elaborate carved stone details, such as a pierced parapet with triangular upstands over tablets inscribed with the phrases "I am the true vine" and "I am the bread of life." Above the porch is a two-centred arched west window with four cusped lights featuring trefoil and quatrefoil tracery, a polychrome band arched over it, and a zig-zag band crossing the apex, all beneath a steeply-pitched and swept roof. The sides of the nave are buttressed and have two-light windows with polychrome heads and bands.

The transepts contain small lancets adorned with saw-tooth decoration, and in the gable, there is a large arched four-light window with a deep polychrome sill-band. The north apse features an arched doorway with shafts and saw-tooth decoration, topped by a steep gablet. The chancel includes, among other features, a traceried five-light east window. The interior is highlighted by a hammerbeam roof.
