Background
History
The church was built between 1898 and 1900 to a design by the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley. It cost £2,358 (equivalent to £|r=-4}}}} in ), and provided seating for 180 people. The church was originally a chapel of ease in the parish of Holy Trinity, Bolton-le-Sands, becoming a parish church in its own right in 1934.
Architecture
St Luke's is constructed in sandstone rubble, with red tiled roofs and a timber porch. Its plan consists of a nave, a north aisle, a north porch, a chancel, and a tower at the crossing. The tower has a hipped roof, a buttress at the southwest, and a stair turret rising to a greater height than the tower at the south east. A wooden bellcote protrudes from the roof of the tower. Inside the church is a three-bay arcade carried on circular piers. The tower has a flat ceiling, while the roofs of the nave and chancel are open. The font dates from 1905, is in white marble, and is in the form of an angel carrying a scallop shell.
