Description
The Church of St Luke is a church built in 1884 by the architectural firm Paley and Austin. It is constructed of dressed slate with red sandstone dressings and features slate roofs. The church consists of a nave, chancel, and a tower located between them, along with a north lean-to vestry. The building has coped gables and round-headed windows with sandstone dressings. The three-bay nave includes a south gabled porch with an entrance that has shafts and an arch decorated with zig-zag and roll moulding. On the north side of the nave, there are two windows. The west end features paired windows beneath a continuous hoodmould on a sill band.
The tower is characterized by deep weathered buttresses on the north and south sides, tall windows with weathering above, louvred bell openings, and a coped cornice. It has a squat pyramidal roof topped with a fish weather-vane. The chancel has three east windows with hollow-chamfered reveals, the central window being wider, and a continuous hoodmould above them. The vestry is located at the west bay of the chancel, which includes an entrance with a cambered lintel.
Inside, the church features arch-braced collar trusses, one of which has a tie beam. The tower contains round double-stepped arches, with the inner steps being corbelled, and a plain coffered ceiling. There is a north organ loft and a plain octagonal font of uncertain date set on a later base.
