Church Of St Luke The Physician

The Church of St Luke the Physician is a church built between 1938 and 1939 by the architects Taylor and Young. It is constructed of light brown brick in an English garden wall bond, with the roof concealed. The church features a modern functionalist style, consisting of a nave with a west tower, north and south aisles that include porches and side offices, and a short chancel.

The rectangular tower is the same width as the nave and is flanked by short triangular buttresses on either side of a square-headed doorway. The tower's plain walls are highlighted by a very large geometrical-floral clock, a parapet, and a low set-back louvre stage topped with a steeply-pitched hipped roof. The flat-roofed aisles have projected triangular ends that flank the tower, with porches at each end of the north aisle and corresponding offices on the south aisle. There are very small star-shaped windows with pentagonal surrounds.

The nave is adorned with seven pairs of tall square-headed lancet windows. The short one-bay chancel features a concrete cross in place of an east window. Inside, the church has a basilican character, with low passage-aisles, chamfered piers that terminate with lights, and a flat concrete-beamed ceiling. The chancel is side-lit and includes relief figures of angels.
