Description
The Church of St Luke is a Grade II listed building featuring a chancel flanked by a south vestry and a north organ chamber, along with an aisled nave that has transverse gables over the aisles and a southwest tower-porch topped with a spire. The exterior is constructed of snecked rubble with freestone dressings and slate roofs, showcasing parapetted gables and stepped buttresses. The west front is adorned with a crucifix finial and has triple cemented vents above a wide four-light Geometric window. There is a projecting doorway beneath a cill band, featuring a single order pointed arch flanked by lancets and boarded doors. The left aisle ends with a pair of lancets. The tower has a polygonal stair-tower with twin lancet bell-openings and nook shafts, a plain parapet, and a pyramidal spire with a weathervane. The porch opens to the side, and the aisles are decorated with plate tracery under hoodmoulds, while the chancel has a three-light traceried window. A railed forecourt is situated above the road, making the church a prominent landmark on the hillside at Cwmdu.
Inside, the church has a simple hall layout with a four-bay nave supported by round piers in the arcades and lower arches at the west end. The nave features an open trussed roof with stone corbels, while the chancel and transverse aisle bays have boarded waggon roofs. The chancel arch is supported by twin shafts leading to corbels.
