History
The three west bays of St Luke's were built in 1926–27, but the remainder was not completed until 1939. It had been planned to have a southwest tower, but this was never built. The church was designed by Henry Paley of the Lancaster firm of architects Austin and Paley.
Architecture
The church is designed mainly in Perpendicular style, and has a polygonal apse at the east end. Inside the church, the arcades are carried on octagonal piers. Under the chancel arch is a low wall with an integral pulpit. The sedilia and furnishings were designed by the architects, and include an octagonal font.
