Description
The Church of St Luke, also known as the chapel at Tone Vale Hospital, is a hospital chapel built between 1897 and 1898 by the architectural firm Giles, Gough & Trollope, who designed the hospital itself. The chapel features red sandstone blockwork with yellow limestone dressings and bands, and has slated gabled roofs with a tiled fleche at the crossing and a pyramidal chancel roof. It is designed in the Perpendicular style and consists of a four-bay aisleless nave with a western porch, wide transepts, and a polygonal chancel. The west end and transepts are adorned with 5-light tracery windows, while the chancel has four-light windows. The nave is defined by buttresses that separate cusped lancet windows. The single-storey western porch is parapetted and features a wide nodding ogee doorway with carved king and queen stops, enclosing paired doors.
Inside, the chapel boasts a fine interior with a complex hammerbeam roof, a tiled floor with geometric patterns, and many original fittings. The chapel was constructed to serve the 2nd County of Somerset and City of Bath Pauper Lunatic Asylum, which is now known as Tone Vale Hospital.
