History
Winmarleigh is a village in Lancashire. Historically, it was part of the ecclesiastical parish of Garstang and Winmarleigh's villagers would have worshipped at the parish church of St Helen, Churchtown. St Luke's was built 1875–1876 by Lancaster-based architecture firm Paley and Austin. Located to the south of the village, the church was paid for by Lord Winmarleigh.[1] It was enlarged in 1887.[2]
Architecture
St Luke's is constructed of sandstone rubble and has a roof of red tiles.[3] Its plan consists of a nave, chancel, a porch to the south, and a chapel and vestry to the north. There is no tower, but there is a wooden bell-cote with a spire between the nave and chancel.[3]
The churchyard contains a mausoleum dedicated to the Reddaway family of Winmarleigh Hall. Built in 1927, it features a cross and kneeling figure in white marble.[1]
Assessment and administration
English Heritage designated St Luke's a Grade II listed building on 26 July 1951.[3] The Grade II designation—the lowest of the three grades—is for buildings that are "nationally important and of special interest".[4]
St Luke's is an active parish church in the Anglican Diocese of Blackburn, which is part of the Province of York. It is in the archdeaconry of Lancaster and the Deanery of Lancaster and Morecambe. St Luke's forms part of the parish of Cockerham.[5]
