Immanuel Church, Oswaldtwistle

Immanuel Church is an Anglican church in Oswaldtwistle with a cross-shaped layout, featuring a nave, chancel, side transepts, and a three-stage tower at the western end. The structure follows the classical English church design of the 1800s.

The building was constructed between 1836 and 1837 by architects J. and T. Stones and received Grade II listed status in 1984. This protected its architectural heritage under English law.

The stained glass windows inside were made by Morris & Co. and Shrigley and Hunt, two well-known glass makers of their era. These details shape how light fills the interior.

The building is easily recognizable from outside because of its tall western tower that stands out in the street landscape. Visitors should look for the typical doorways and entrances found in English churches of this era.

The church archives hold burial records beginning in 1837 and marriage records starting in 1840, offering a rare glimpse into local life from two centuries ago. These historical documents serve researchers interested in family history.
