History
editThe building was originally a school chapel with an attached master's house that was erected in 1870.[3]
Architecture
editSt Luke's is constructed in red brick and stands on a blue brick plinth. It is roofed with blue tiles. The plan consists of a two-bay nave, a lower and narrower chancel, and a porch. On the ridge of the roof is a bellcote, set diagonally.[2] The windows have pointed arches and contain intersecting glazing bars.[3] Inside the church is an oak pulpit.[2] The altar incorporates a panel containing the figures of Faith, Hope, and Charity.[3]
