The church was built in 1861 from locally quarried Cambrian sandstone, on land donated by farmer William Homer Sherwood. William Wiloughby did the masonry. J. Horton and J. Earl oversaw the carpentry. The Township of Bastard and South Burgess recognized the heritage values of the Emmanuel Anglican Church in By-law No. 601, under the Ontario Heritage Act, July 16, 1984.
