Wolverhampton St Luke

St Luke's parish was formed on 5th September, 1862. The church, at Blakenhall, on the extreme southern boundary of Wolverhampton, was consecrated in July 1861.

Church History

St Luke's church was built of variously coloured bricks, from designs by Mr GT Robinson, of Leamington, and consisted of an apsidal chancel, nave, aisles and side chapel, a long western porch or cloister extending the whole width of the church and uniting it with a tower and spire, 170 feet in height. An organ was introduced in 1884, and a lady chapel added in 1920.
