CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
Immanuel church was built in 1854 to the designs of A. Ross, with consecration taking place in October 1854. In 1864-1865 Benjamin Ferrey was responsible for a rebuilding and enlargement of the church building in a Gothic style. Saint Anselm church (P95/ANS) was destroyed during the Second World War and the parish merged with Immanuel parish to form the parish of Immanuel with Saint Anselm. The current church was built in 1988 to the designs of the architect Nigel Melhuish. Following the closure and redundancy of Saint Andrew's church, Lower Streatham (P95/AND2) the two parishes were united and the new church opened as Immanuel and Saint Andrew.
