Description

The entrance gateway to the Church of St. Luke, along with the attached walls lining the north and east sides of the churchyard, was likely built between 1841 and 1842 by Atkinson, the same architect responsible for the church. The gateway is made of ashlar sandstone and features iron gates, while the walls are constructed from coursed, squared magnesian limestone.

The tripartite gateway includes a wide central opening flanked by a carriage gate and two pedestrian side gates. The attached walls, each approximately 70 meters long, run along the east side of the churchyard, facing Bramham Road, and the north side. The gateway has square piers with plinths, chamfered edges, and offsets topped with plain pinnacles that have scale-decorated pyramidal caps. The offsets extend as chamfered copings over shouldered-lintelled pedestrian gates with side piers.

The original gates feature square bars, dog bars beneath twin mid-rails with finials, and twin top rails with finials of different designs. A low wall on the left curves along Bramham Road and has triangular copings that slope down from the side gate. This wall ends at a square pier, while the wall on the right returns immediately to line the track on the north side of the churchyard. The gateway and walls are included for their group value.
