Church of St Luke

The Church of St Luke is a parish church located in Skerton, Lancaster, built in 1833 with a late 19th-century addition. It is constructed from squared coursed sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with overhanging eaves. The church has a plan that includes a west tower, a nave with north and south aisles under a continuous roof, and an added north vestry.

The exterior of the tower consists of three stages, with diagonal buttresses, corner pinnacles, and an embattled parapet. The west doorway is pointed and chamfered in two orders, featuring doors with blind tracery decoration. Above the doorway is a window with triple stepped lancets. The bell openings are single lancets, and there are single lancet windows at the west ends of the aisles. The north and south walls have seven bays separated by buttresses, each containing a single lancet window, with diagonal buttresses at the corners. The eastern end of the north wall is now obscured by the added vestry. The east window features a triple stepped lancet flanked by single lancets that light the aisles.

Inside, the church has an open timber roof supported by scissor-braced trusses. There is a west gallery with a timber front. The stained glass windows include one on the south side of the chancel depicting St Luke, dedicated to the memory of Richard Clark (died 1838), and five windows commemorating members of the Whalley family.
