Emanuel Court

Emanuel Court is a former church tower, now converted into flats, located on Guthrie Road in Clifton, Bristol. It was built in 1869 by architect J. Norton. The main body of the church was demolished around 1970. The tower is constructed from snecked red Pennant rubble with limestone ashlar dressings and has a square plan, designed in the Early English Gothic Revival style.

The tower features five stages, with angle buttresses that have gableted tops and a rounded ashlar stair tower located between the buttresses on the northwest side. The north door is elaborately designed with three orders, foliate capitals, a tympanum carved with diamond patterns, and a statue of Christ, above a trumeau with shouldered arched doors. The west and east sides of the tower have paired lancet windows set in pointed arches on banded shafts, topped with a gable hood and finial.

The second stage includes three stepped lancets with plate tracery and hoodmould, while the third stage has two thin lancets and the fourth stage features a single lancet, all on the north elevation. The belfry is adorned with two tall louvred lancets of two orders with trefoil heads, and gargoyles are placed at the corners of an openwork parapet. The interior has been converted into flats, and the body of the church was removed to create sheltered accommodation, of which the tower is now a part.
