Information about Emmanuel Church from:
"ROYAL TUNBRIDGE WELLS - Past and Present - July 1946
For the occasion of the Jubliee Congress of the South-Eastern Union of Scientific Societies
Editor J. C. M. Given, Tunbridge Wells, Courier Printing and Publishing Co. Ltd., Grove Hill Road"
Extract:
The Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel, now called Emmanuel Church, may be dated by the following inscription from a monument in the churchyard: '' Upon this mount stood and preached that eminent servant of God, George Whitefield, at the opening of the adjoining Chapel, July 23rd, 1769." This quaint chapel of timber and tiles was replaced by the present structure, designed by Wimble, of London, and built in 1867.
