Description
The Church of St. Luke, built in 1856 by Benjamin Ferrey, is a Grade II* listed building located in Chetwynd Sambrook. This sandstone church is designed in the Gothic style and features plain tile roofs. The nave includes three and four-light geometric traceried windows on the south side, along with two lancet windows and a rose window in the west gable end. The chancel has a similar three-light east window, with lancets on the north and south sides and diagonal buttresses. There is a low north aisle without a clerestory, which includes a vestry. The steeply gabled south porch has trefoil openings. At the west end of the nave, there is a weatherboarded timber tower topped with a Scandinavian style shingled spire in two stages, the lower stage featuring gablets. Inside, the church has a three-bay north arcade with double-chamfered arches supported by circular piers, as well as an arched brace chancel roof and nave roof. The stained glass, created by Charles Gibbs, is dated 1856.
