Description

The Church of St Luke is a Grade II* listed church built in 1793 for Henry, Earl of Gainsborough. It features red brick construction with an ashlar plinth, bands, and dressings, topped with a slate roof that has a coped gable. The church has a three-bay nave, a three-stage west tower, an apsidal chancel, and a vestry located to the north-east. It is designed in a classical style, with archivolted round-arched nave windows that have raised sills, keystones, and leaded lights. The chancel is lower than the nave, and the side windows are blind. The west entrance has a double, six-panel door with a fanlight, set in a raised brick surround that includes imposts, a keystone, and a small cornice. Above this is a round-arch west window with an impost band that continues around the tower, becoming an eaves band for the nave. The tower features louvred round-arched openings for the bell chamber, and there is a moulded eaves cornice and a weathervane.

Inside, the church has an entrance lobby with a stick-baluster staircase that leads to a balcony. The balcony has a dark stained front made up of four fielded panels on a dentilled cornice, supported by two square panelled piers. The ceiling cornice is bracketed, and the roof is simply panelled. The east end of the church features a dado of fielded panels arranged in two tiers, topped with a small dentilled cornice.
