History and administration
Immanuel Church was built 1836–1837 to a design by J. and T. Stones.[1] In 1866–1867 J. & J. M. Hay added a chancel, transepts, a chapel and an organ chamber.[2] In 1911, St Mary's Church, Cocker Brook, St Andrew's Church, Hippings, and St Michael's Church, Belthorn were all chapels of ease to Immanuel.[3]
Immanuel was designated a Grade II listed building by English Heritage on 9 March 1984.[1] The Grade II listing—the lowest of the three grades—is for buildings that are "nationally important and of special interest".[4] An active church in the Church of England, Immanuel is part of the diocese of Blackburn, which is in the Province of York. It is in the archdeaconry of Blackburn, the Deanery of Accrington and the benefice of Oswaldtwistle Immanuel and All Saints.
Architecture
Immanuel Church is constructed in the Early English style of coarsed stone, squared sandstone; the roofs are slate.[1] The plan is cruciform with a nave, chancel, transepts, tower to the west and chapel to the south-east.[2] The tower is of three stages with buttresses and lancet arches.[2] The nave is also buttressed. There are lancet windows in the nave, chancel and transepts.[1]
There is stained glass by Morris & Co. and Shrigley and Hunt.[2]
