History
The parish of Emmanuel, West Dulwich was formed from part of the parish of Saint Luke's West Norwood and from part of the parish of Saint Stephen's, College Road, in the late nineteenth century. A temporary iron church was opened in September 1872 under licence from the Bishop of Winchester. A permanent church was consecrated in 1877 under the Bishop of Rochester. From around 1923/4 it was in the diocese of Southwark. In 1966 Emmanuel was joined with All Saints, West Dulwich becoming a Conventional District of that parish. A new church was built in 1967 after the demolition of the older one.
