Description
St Luke’s Church, Carluke, was originally built in 1799 by Henry Bell, incorporating earlier fabric, with alterations and additions in 1890 and 1912. Initially a square-plan church with a gabled design, a pinnacled central tower and porch were added in 1890. Subsequent additions to the rear resulted in an asymmetrical plan.
This is a well-preserved late 18th century church. According to architectural historian G Hay, the Laird’s loft is a feature of particular interest. The church is the sole documented work of Henry Bell (1767-1830), who is more widely recognised as a pioneer of steam navigation, but who previously worked as an architect builder within the Glasgow firm of Bell and Paterson Builders.
The church appears on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of around 1864. The front addition is shown on the second edition map, dating from approximately 1898, and further additions are documented on the third (1913) and fourth (1948) Ordnance Survey maps.
