CHURCH BUILDING

 The St. Luke’s is situated on the junction of Dumbreck and Westmount Roads (Map) in Eltham Park and was designed by the great architect Temple Moore. It is built of red brick with stone dressings and was completed in 1907.

Although not one of his most famous buildings it carries his characteristic stamp of space and calm. It is a building which people enter and immediately feel that it it a place for worship and prayer.

 The building is asymmetrical in design and originally consisted of a Nave and North Aisle separated by two pointed arches. The south wall was originally divided into three bays each of which contained a window. The Nave and North Aisle are covered by a steeply pitched tiled roof which is centred on the Nave and which comes down low on the north side. The Nave has a timber barrel vaulted ceiling

In 1934 the south wall and windows were removed to leave a three bay arcade. A flat roofed South Aisle, Lady Chapel, Porch and Vestry were added leaving the original Nave and North Aisle unaltered.
