Church Of St Luke

The Church of St Luke is a parish church built in 1865, with a chancel chapel added in 1875, designed by George Gilbert Scott. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble and features a plain-tiled roof in the Gothic style. The church has a nave with a clerestory and aisles.

On the exterior, there is a lower chancel with a semicircular apse and attached chapels to the north and south, both having parallel ridges and end gables. A projecting gabled porch is located at the north side. The slim tower at the west end has angle buttresses and bell chamber lights with paired lancets, topped by a brooch spire with lucarnes. The nave consists of four bays, with paired lancets in the aisles and foiled circular windows in the clerestory. The apse features paired lancets between buttresses, similar to the side chapels but with plate tracery. A stone plinth with a continuous sill-band runs along the base.

Inside, the church has quatrefoil piers supporting the arcade, and the apse is adorned with arcading that alternates stained glass windows by Kempe and painted panels above a panelled dado. The east window may be by Hardman. The tower is internally supported by large circular columns with carved capitals.
