Church Of St Luke, Winterton Hospital

The Church of St. Luke, located within Winterton Hospital, is a hospital church built in 1884 by William Crozier Junior. It is constructed from light-red engineering brick in English garden wall bond, featuring some yellow-brick polychromy and sandstone dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The church is designed in the Early English style and includes lancet windows under hoodmoulds.

The structure has an aisled nave with a west narthex and vestries, and a chancel that includes a north vestry and a south organ chamber. The nave consists of six bays, with the aisles featuring a brick sill string and stepped-buttressed bays, each containing three stepped lancets. The clerestory mirrors this design with small paired lancets under a continuous hoodmould. The steeply-pitched roof is adorned with a crested ridge, coped gables, and a squat, gabled east bellcote.

At the west end, the single-storey, five-bay narthex has a taller, gabled central bay that includes a pointed-arched doorway with a trefoil above, flanked by buttressed bays containing paired and single lancets. The nave features three stepped lancets with single flanking lancets and clasping, gableted buttresses topped with pinnacles. The aisle returns showcase two-light plate-tracery windows.

The chancel is lower and narrower, comprising two bays with a gabled vestry and a two-bay organ chamber. The apsidal east end is detailed with a sill string and five lancets under a continuous hoodmould, a dentilled brick eaves band, and a steeply-pitched roof. The east return of the organ chamber features paired lancets with a cinquefoil above.

Inside, the church exhibits restrained polychromy. The nave arcades consist of six double-chamfered, pointed arches supported by Greek-cross-plan piers with attached corner colonettes. The roof is supported by six scissor-braced trusses on corbels. There are three steps leading up to the chancel, which has an encaustic-tiled floor and brass gas lamps mounted on the walls. A semi-octagonal stone pulpit is present, featuring pink marble colonettes.
