Historic Place - Category II
St Lukes is situated on one of the original five church reserves set aside in the plans of the Canterbury Association for the town of Christchurch. Of the four church reserves that were to have bounded the Cathedral reserve, this is the one still intact.
The church was designed by Julian Cyril Mountfort (1852- 1920) and completed in 1909. It is a competent example of early English Gothic Revival church of substantial scale. The construction method of a brick lining and stone facing is of note, which is complimented by an extensive use of Oamaru dressings and the high roof structure. The church also features good quality stained glass by the English firm, Whitefriars. Also of note is the stand alone bell tower in the church grounds.
