Description
St Luke's church stood on the west side of St Luke's Road. It was designed by Charles Buckridge and built in 1873-4 and 1876-9 largely under the supervision of J.L.Pearson. Built in the Early English style it consisted of nave with lean-to aisles, lower chancel and lowest storey only of a north-west porch tower. The interior was spacious. The church was out of use by the late 1990s and appears now to have been demolished and the site re-developed.

When the church was demolished, the font, pulpit and part of the reredos were moved to St John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. The latter two have been altered in their new situation.
