History
The church of Saint Luke was situated in a secluded site for a church, between a terrace of houses and Chatham Place. A district was assigned in 1873 from Saint John, Saint Barnabas, Saint John of Jerusalem and Saint Augustine. At first, its patron was W.H.Longfellow, then trustee of St. Olave Hart Street, who contributed to the stipend. The building was of ragstone with stone dressings in Early Decorated Style, designed by Newman and Billing.
