Description

Emmanuel Church is a church built in 1852, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Decorated Gothic style. It is constructed from Kentish ragstone and features a tiled roof that extends to the eaves. The church does not have a clerestory. A perpendicular north aisle, added in 1890, matches the height and width of the original nave. There is a short tiled broach spire over the chancel arch. The south side of the church includes a Lady Chapel, which balances the organ chamber on the north side. The building has a lean-to south aisle and a south porch, with buttressed aisles. A low turretted north transept is also present. Inside, the nave arcading consists of vigorously foliated columns arranged in six bays.

Local climate

Emmanuel Church sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
