History
The church of Saint Luke, West Norwood, was built by the Lambeth Church Building Committee working under the Church Building Commissioners, who had been established by an Act of 1818 to provide more churches, particularly in the expanding metropolis. The church was constructed between 1822 and 1825 to designs by Francis Bedford; although major alterations to the interior were carried out in 1870.
