The Emmanuel Church at Brook Hill, in Henrico County, Virginia, was built between 1859 and 1860. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The listing included two contributing buildings (the church and a church school from 1910) and one contributing site, a cemetery.[1][2] Richard Hooker Wilmer, the only bishop to be consecrated by the Episcopal Church in the Confederate States of America, is buried in the church cemetery.
According to its 1999 NRHP nomination, the church "is a superb example of late antebellum Gothic Revival ecclesiastical architecture" and very likely "the last such building constructed before the Civil War began". It was designed by Rhode Island architect Clifton A. Hall.[2]
