Church Of St Luke

The Church of St. Luke is an Anglican chapel of ease built in 1844 by J. Parish. It is constructed from coursed and dressed rubble stone, topped with a Cotswold stone-slate roof and features coped gables with cross finials. The building is a single block that includes an apsidal chancel and a tower located at the southwest corner, designed in a Romanesque style.

The tower consists of four stages with offsets and vestigial angle buttresses on the lower two stages. It has a single step round arch entrance on the south side, complete with impost blocks and chamfered jambs. The third stage features a round-headed slit window facing south, while the belfry on the fourth stage is adorned with open twin arches on all sides, topped with a hipped and sprocketed tile roof that includes a weathervane.

The nave comprises five bays, each containing a single light round arch window recessed within an arch, which is further set into a rectangular panel with a line of modillions at the top, a weathered sill, and a continuous offset below. The apsidal chancel has five similar but narrower windows and a conical roof, with a line of modillions that now forms a decorative Lombard frieze along the top of the panels. Projecting rafters are present at the eaves all around. The west window is tripartite, featuring a central round arch that is higher than the others, with moulded architraves and impost blocks linking the three windows.

Inside, the church has a hammer beam roof supported by carved corbels and wind bracing. The apse features six ribs that converge at a boss carved with a cross motif, which is supported on colonnettes with carved capitals and low corbels. The interior also includes simple geometrical stained glass.
