Description
The Church of St Luke, formerly a Bible Christian Chapel, was built in 1891 in St Neot, with an attached Sunday School of a similar date. Constructed of granite rubble with brick dressings, partly slate-hung, it has a hipped slate roof with crested ridge tiles.
The church’s plan is a simple auditorium layout, with the ritual east end on the left and an entrance through a porch to the right. The Sunday School is attached to the right end and built into the slope of the land, incorporating an unheated ground and first-floor room at the rear.
The front facade of the chapel features three pointed-arch windows with 3-pane margin glazing. A gabled porch to the right bears a datestone inscribed "BCC 1891" in Gothic lettering. The outer doorway has a shouldered head, and the inner door is plain. The left end and rear of the church are slate-hung and feature windows matching those on the front. The attached Sunday School has a half-hipped roof, double doors with a round-arched fanlight, and a right-hand side featuring two 20-pane windows, a side door, and an upper 6-pane window. The rear of the Sunday School includes a door and a 9-pane window at ground level. The interior is not accessible.
