Church Of St Luke

The Church of St Luke, built between 1852 and 1853 by W. Culshaw, is located on St. Luke's Church Road in Formby. This Grade II listed church features rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. The structure includes a nave, transepts, chancel, and a south porch.

The five-bay nave is characterized by 2-light windows with simple Geometrical tracery set between weathered buttresses. The west front showcases a window with three trefoil-headed lights, complete with shafts and a segmental hood mould that continues as a drip mould. Below this is the foundation stone, and above, a rose window. The exterior is further enhanced by diagonal buttresses and a bellcote. The south porch is supported by clasping buttresses.

The transepts also feature diagonal buttresses and 2-light windows with louvred trefoils; the north transept includes an east entrance and chimney, while the south transept has an east entrance with a window above. The chancel is adorned with a parapet that has quatrefoil piercings, gabled angle buttresses, and a three-light east window.

Inside, the church boasts arch-braced collar trusses resting on corbels, and there is notable stained glass in the west windows. The arches leading to the transepts die into the jambs, with a north organ loft and south vestry. Additional features include a brass altar rail and a Norman font of simple design with cable moulding.
