History

The church was built in 1928 as the Ham Free Evangelical Church. During the war the Pastor was Wilfred Sayer and he was followed by his brother and two sons. Services ceased in 1979 but it reopened after modernisation with Peter Dunn as minister. He was followed by Mark Farmer in 1988 and later by Mildred Howes and Bob McClure. It has operated as Emmanuel Church since the building was renovated in 1998 by the Duke Street Church, Richmond. ^{[2] [3]}
