Church of St Luke

The Church of St Luke is an Anglican church built between 1871 and 1872 by Richard Adams. It is constructed of coursed squared gritstone with ashlar details and is designed in the Gothic Revival style. The church features a six-bay nave, a lower two-light chancel, north and south aisles, an added vestry, and a small bellcote at the west end. The aisles have paired lancet windows, with a round window above the lancets in the clerestory. The west end includes paired three-light windows and large buttresses on either side and between. The east end showcases a large five-light Gothic window and a gabled bellcote with a niche and pinnacles.

Inside, the church has a six-bay nave supported by quatrefoil columns and chamfered arches, with large carved heads of evangelists and prophets between the arches. The roof features crown post and arch brace timber trusses. The chancel arch is wide and high, leading to a two-bay chancel adorned with the heads of St Luke and his symbol, the bull, on the hood stops. The sanctuary has a mosaic floor with roundels in green, black, and brown, and a reredos added in 1922. The original altar rails have been removed to accommodate a forward altar platform. In the north aisle, the stone pulpit front has been re-set below a plaque commemorating Reverend John Lobley, who died in 1887, during whose incumbency the church and school were built. The font against the south aisle wall features grey marble columns, an octagonal bowl with dog-tooth moulding, and an open-work wooden cover.
