St Luke's Church, Winmarleigh

St Luke's Church features sandstone rubble walls topped with red tiles, incorporating a wooden bell-cote between the nave and chancel sections.

The architectural firm Sharpe, Paley and Austin completed the initial construction of St Luke's Church in 1876, with subsequent expansion adding a north aisle in 1887.

The churchyard contains a white marble mausoleum from 1927 dedicated to the Reddaway family of Winmarleigh Hall, displaying a kneeling figure.

Located on Church Lane, this Grade II listed building operates as an active Church of England parish within the Diocese of Blackburn.

The church interior reveals extensive stencil decorations throughout the crossing and chancel areas, though water damage has affected portions of the artwork.
