Description
The Church of St Luke is an Anglican parish church located in Tutshill, built in 1853 by Henry Woodyer. It features square coursed stone with a plain tiled roof, which has coped verges and terminal crosses. The church includes a nave, a south porch, a southeast bell turret with three bells, a chancel, a vestry, an organ loft, and a north aisle. The overall design is in the 14th-century Decorated style, with a west end that has a two-light window over a central buttress, steep pointed openings to both the outer and inner porch leading to a simple plank door, two and three-light windows in the nave, a small single light in the pulpit area, two-light windows in the south chancel and vestry, and four single lights in the north aisle.
Inside, the church has a four-bay nave with a wave and chamfer arcade and a strutted collar roof. The chancel arch is segmental pointed, and there is a two-bay unequal-span opening to the vestry from the chancel, supported by two small colonnettes. The chancel roof mirrors that of the nave and features double sedilia in a cusped early English style, along with carved panels flanking the altar that incorporate a war memorial. The church also has an octagonal font with raised sharp-cut lettering that reads: FAITH, REPENTANCE, SALVATION, REMISSION on four faces.
