Our Building

Beautiful Rose Window and a fine set of pictorial windows.

Grade 2* listed. An impressive building, dedicated in 1868 with beautiful furnishings and fittings. Notably a finely crafted oak altar and a white altar frontal made by the Clewer Sisters of Mercy which has recently been refurbished. Local Marble was used in the pulpit and the font and to ornament the chancel and sanctuary and there are excellent examples of ironwork.


Music and Worship

St Luke's has the heaviest peel of 8 bells in Derbyshire, cast by Taylors of Loughborough.

St Luke's is an exceptional venue for concerts and live music, with excellent acoustics and a direct line of sight from every seat in the church. Please contact the Parish Priest or Churchwardens.

St Luke's has a fine 3-manual Abbott Organ built in 1881.
