Mini 3 St Luke's, Winmarleigh - in the setting sun

[Paul Iddon]

St Luke's Church is in the village of Winmarleigh, Lancashire, England. It is an active Church of England parish church in the Diocese of Blackburn, the archdeaconry of Lancaster, and the deanery of Lancaster and Morecambe.

The church was built in 1875–1876 by Paley and Austin, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.

St Luke's is constructed of sandstone rubble and has a roof of red tiles. Its plan consists of a nave, a chancel, a porch to the south, and a chapel and a vestry to the north. There is no tower, but there is a wooden bell-cote with a spire between the nave and chancel.

Well done Paul! Lovely time of day to shoot!
Are parishioners still allowed to be buried on the grounds of St. Luke's or have modern laws prevent that?

Truthfully I couldn't say Daryl, though the church is active but not every day. As far as I know, if someone wanted to they should be able to be laid to rest there...


Interestingly, the church cemetery houses a mausoleum dedicated to the Reddaway family of Winmarleigh Hall, a piece of local history reflected in the funerary art of 1927.

There is also the war grave of a soldier from the Liverpool Regiment of World War I, adding an additional layer of meaning to this place of peace and remembrance.
