St Lukes church was built in 1910 and and in 2010  celebrated its Centenary. St Lukes parish was not formally constituted until 1911, but its origins had grown from the mission work of St John’s Church to this part of the town in the early 1890s when a great deal of residential development was taking place. It appears to have been known as St Luke’s from about 1904 onwards, long before St Lukes church was built or the parish formally established.

St Lukes church is built of Kent ragstone with Bathstone details and tiled roofs. Five wonderful stained glassed windows designed by William Glasby were dedicated in 1924, with other smaller stained glass windows added later.  St Lukes church bell tower, dedicated in 1919, contains bells which are clavier chime with ringing clappers. The Norman and Beard organ, fitted in 1910 was extensively renovated in 1991. A number of internal alterations to St Lukes church have taken place over the years, including the creation of a memorial chapel in 1952.
