St Luke's Church, Christchurch, Anglican church in Christchurch, New Zealand

The Gothic Revival style church, designed by architect Cyril Mountfort, stood at the intersection of Manchester, Lichfield, and Peterborough Streets until 2011.

The church, built between 1908 and 1909 for NZ£9,800, replaced the Chapel of Ease on one of five sites allocated by the Canterbury Association in 1850.

New Zealand Post featured stained glass windows from St Luke's Church on four Christmas stamps issued in 1995, highlighting their national importance.

The congregation now holds services at the Mary Potter Community Centre while maintaining weekday morning prayers at the original site.

The adjacent St Luke's Vicarage, registered as Category I heritage building, survived the 2011 earthquake and underwent restoration as a residential dwelling.

Location: Canterbury Region
