Description

The Church of St Luke is a cemetery chapel built in 1877 and later extended into a cruciform church in 1893 by H T Shillitoe. It is constructed from rockface limestone with ashlar dressings and features a steeply pitched plain tile roof with terracotta ridge tiles. The church is designed in the Early English Gothic style, with north and south transept ends that have triple lancet windows facing the nave. The east window includes three-light bar tracery, and there is a small gabled porch on the south side. A distinctive open polygonal stone belfry is located on the west gable. The cemetery wall, built in 1893, is made of trellised red brick. The timber porch on the left has sides featuring two trefoiled arches, with cusped braces and a bargeboard, and also has a plain tile roof.
