Description
The Church of St. Luke is a parish church built between 1753 and 1755. It features ashlar stonework and a clay tile roof with coped verges on kneelers. The church consists of a single bay chancel, a nave, a south porch, and a west tower. The chancel has a Venetian east window with a raised keystone in the central light and a raised sill. The nave includes round-headed windows, each with raised keystones. The west tower is composed of three stages, with ground floor windows, a first-floor west window, and belfry openings that all feature Y-tracery. The first-floor windows on the north and south sides have triangular heads and hood moulds, topped with a crenellated parapet.
Inside, there is a plain, slightly segmental chancel arch and a round-headed doorway leading to the tower. The west organ gallery and an open timber roof are notable features. Among the fittings, there is a painting at the west end of the nave depicting Aaron, Moses, and Joshua with the Ten Commandments, signed by J. Woolf and W. Brown in 1755. Additionally, there is a painting of the royal coat of arms of George II, an 18th-century pulpit, and 17th-century chairs on either side of the altar.
