Administrative/Biographical history:

Emmanuel Congregational Church was built in 1877 on Barry Road, East Dulwich. At first it was only a temporary iron structure but a stone church was constructed in 1891. The iron chapel was used as a Sunday School until 1989 when it was replaced by a hall. The Church was sold in 1972 when the Presbyterian and Congregational Churches merged to form the United Reformed Church. The hall was renovated and reopened as Christ Church in 1988.

It's the building with the spire right at the top of Barry Road facing the Rye at the bottom; it sits right on the bend. It became a residential home in more recent years following deconsecration. The building next door was its church hall, and is now used as a place of worship.
