Description
Emmanuel Church, also known as the University Chaplaincy, is an Anglican church built in 1880 by architects Richard Adams and John Kelly. The church is constructed from rock-faced ashlar, with plain ashlar used for the crossing tower and spire, and features slate roofs. It has a cruciform plan with a massive crossing and tower spire, and the nave and chancel are aligned northeast-southwest. The church includes a clerestory for the nave and entrances located in the transept and a gabled porch.
In the Gothic Revival style, the exterior showcases paired and lancet windows with plate tracery, as well as arcading on the clerestory of the nave and transepts. The tower features two-light belfry windows and has pinnacled corner turrets topped with a spire.
The interior has been reordered, with the nave underceiled and consisting of five bays supported by cylindrical columns. Carved heads of saints are present at the springers of the arches. The chancel and transepts are divided off, and the panelled ceiling of the crossing is adorned with painted figures of angels holding scrolls. The glass in the northeast window has figures that have been reset.
