Description
The Church of St Luke is a Grade II listed building that incorporates medieval walling but was extensively rebuilt in the late 16th century and again in 1858. The early construction features rubble or large blocks, while the 19th-century masonry is squared, snecked, and hammer-dressed. Some parts of the medieval plinth and quoining remain, and there are 19th-century buttresses. The church has graduated slate roofs with some stone flagging at the eaves, a pedimented belfry on the west side, and an apex cross on the east. It has a two-cell plan, with the jamb of a medieval north door visible to the left of a 1896 gabled porch that encloses a blocked original lancet. There is another original lancet in the south wall opposite, while the other windows are from the 19th century. An ornate pedimented memorial slab on the south wall features fine inscriptions dated 1767 and 1791. Inside, there is a combined piscina and three-seater sedilia in the south chancel wall that is partly medieval. An early 14th-century wooden effigy of a knight is unpainted, though part of one side is missing.
