History
The church was erected between 1868 and 1871 to designs by the architects Henry Isaac Stevens and Frederick Josias Robinson. The church was consecrated on Saturday 24 June 1871 by the Bishop of Lichfield[3]George Selwyn. In the 1880s, a mission church of St George was opened in the Firs Estate.
St Luke's is a traditional Anglo-Catholic church. It is a member of Forward in Faith, an Anglo-Catholic organisation that opposes the ordination of women and liberal attitudes to homosexuality.[4] It is under the alternative episcopal oversight of the Bishop of Ebbsfleet.[5]
Organ
A temporary organ was obtained when the church was first opened, but resources were found to purchase a new three-manual organ from Abbott of Leeds and this was opened on 18 October 1881.[6] A specification of the current organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[7]
