Description

The Church of St. Luke is a church built between 1841 and 1842 by Atkinson, designed in the Gothic Revival style. It is constructed from ashlar magnesian limestone and features a graduated slate roof. The church has a cruciform plan with a west tower.

The tower consists of two stages. The lower stage is tall and has a chamfered plinth with a west doorway that is topped by a shouldered lintel. It is supported by clasping buttresses that have moulded offsets, hollow arrises, and offset tops. The tall double-chamfered west window is located beneath a shorter lancet window, both of which have a hoodmould. The tower also features cusped circular windows and a string course beneath the belfry stage, which has shafted arrises. The belfry openings are 2-light and louvred, with continuous hoodmoulds, shafts, and spandrel trefoils. Below the corbel table, there are blind quatrefoils leading to a plain parapet with corner dies.

On the south side of the nave, there is a chamfered plinth and a clasping west buttress to the left of two double-chamfered windows. The nave has a chamfered eaves band and shaped kneelers on the left, along with ashlar gable copings. The north doorway, which has a hoodmould, is located west of a single lancet window. The transepts each have matching gables with two windows under hoodmoulds that feature carved stops, flanked by buttresses with offsets and gablets. A hooded circular window is located beneath a vesica, along with shaped kneelers and copings.

The chancel has a moulded sill for the east window, which consists of three stepped lights with shafts and a hoodmould adorned with nailhead ornament. There is also a sill for a gable trefoil, shaped kneelers, and gable copings with an apex cross. Flat-roofed vestries are situated in the angles with the transepts and chancel, featuring side doorways and 2-light east windows under shouldered heads.

Inside, the church has a quadripartite vault at the crossing supported by corbelled, arch-braced trusses. An octagonal stone font is present, along with an Eamonson Charity board from 1852 located under the tower.
