Church Of St Luke

The Church of St. Luke is a Grade II* listed building located in Newton Harcourt. It dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, with significant enlargement in the 19th century. The church is constructed from coursed rubble stone with stone dressings and is mostly rendered in red brick. It features a Welsh slate roof and a pyramid tower roof made of Swithland slate.

The structure includes a west tower, nave, and chancel all under a single roof, along with a north transept and a north chancel vestry. The low tower has three stages, with the lower part dating to the 13th century and the upper part to the 14th century. It has a west doorway, a small lancet window above it featuring 19th-century stained glass, and four two-light bell openings, one of which on the east side is blocked. The roof is topped with an orb and cross finial.

Inside, there is a hollow moulded nave arch supported by keeled responds. The nave, built in 1834, has windows featuring mostly patterned stained glass from the 19th century. The roof consists of five bays with tie beams, king posts, and struts. The north transept and north chancel vestry were added in the later 19th century. Additionally, there is a chamber organ from around 1800 housed in a mahogany case, originally from Wistow Hall.
