Building

A granite church with a slate roof, St Luke's adjoins the Howard Davis Park and overlooks the military cemetery.

The church was designed by John Hayward and built in 1848-51. It is built of granite and cruciform in layout, with a nave, north and south transepts and a porch at the southern end. Many of the lancet windows have stained glass.

There is a war memorial in the churchyard dating from 1922; it was a gift from TB Davis, who also gave the adjoining park to the island in memory of his son. <gallery widths="300px" heights="200px" perrow="3" align=center style= "color: darkgreen;font-family:garamond;font-size:12pt;font-weight: normal;text-align:center;font-style: italic;letter-spacing: 1px; cellspacing= 30px;padding: 20px 20px 30px 20px;"> File:StLuke'sChChoirSmith.jpg|St Luke's Church choir photographed by Albert Smith File:EB15StLukesStatue.jpg| File:EB15StLukesBells.jpg| File:StLuke'sChurch1907.jpg| File:E17StLuke'sBaptistry.jpg|Baptistry File:E17StLuke'sReredos.jpg|Reredos File:E17StLuke'sChurchChapel.jpg| File:Jam18StLuke'sChurch.jpg| File:D19LadyChapelStLuke's.jpg|Lady Chapel File:TP19StLuke'sChurch1.jpg| File:TP19StLuke'sChurch2.jpg| File:TP19StLuke'sChurch1960.jpg|1960
