Description

The church hall at the Church of St Luke, dated 1910, is a single-storey building constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring white brick bands and stone dressings. It has a plain tile roof and consists of five bays. The exterior includes buttresses with offsets and paired lancet windows with leaded glazing and chamfered surrounds; the windows in bays two and four are taller and break the eaves below gables. The building has modillion eaves, brick kneelers, and stone coping on the gables. On the left side, there is an oculus in the gable, while the right side features three stepped lancets above the foundation. A separate gabled bay on the right projects forward and contains an entrance with a double board door that has decorative iron hinges, along with a three-light, four-centred arched overlight in a chamfered surround and a cusped narrow light above. Inside, the main hall showcases a quatrefoil-pierced and moulded eaves board, arch-braced roof trusses with chamfered cross braces and crown posts, and cusped wind braces.
