Description
St Luke's Church, located on Neilston Road in Paisley, was designed by architect James Lamb in 1836, with additions and alterations made in 1891 by architect James Donald. The church features a simple Gothick rectangular plan and includes a vestry at the rear. The front is ashlar-faced with angle pilasters, while the remainder of the building is constructed from rubble with ashlar dressings.
The gabled front has three bays and a pointed arched door with a hood mould. Above the door, there are three-light windows with intersecting Y-tracery, flanked by Y-tracery lancets. The pilasters are topped with simple pinnacles, and there are remains of a bellcote at the apex. Each side of the church has five lancet windows, and the slate roof has straight skews, with a globe finial at the rear. The vestry is a simple rectangular structure made of snecked rubble, featuring lancet windows.
Inside, the church has galleries on three sides that are supported by cast-iron colonnettes.
