St. Luke's Church, Derby

St. Luke's Church is a Grade II* listed building on Parliament Street featuring a prominent tower and stone construction with traditional Gothic design elements. The interior layout includes a main nave, side aisles, and a crypt chapel used for smaller services.

Architect Henry Isaac Stevens designed and completed the building in 1871, which Bishop George Selwyn then consecrated for worship. The church was built during a period of expanding religious institutions across Victorian Derby.

The church follows Anglo-Catholic traditions, which you can see in how services are conducted and in the interior furnishings and decorations. This approach shapes the experience visitors have when they step inside.

The church is open to visitors during service times and welcomes those wishing to explore the interior or attend worship. Access to different areas may vary depending on ongoing services or special events.

In the 1880s, the church established a mission chapel named St. George on the Firs Estate to serve the growing residential area. This expansion demonstrates how the congregation extended its reach beyond the main building.
