The Church of St. Luke, High Orchard, Gloucester, was a Church of England church built and endowed by the reverend Samuel Lysons, rector of Rodmarton, who was also the first minister.
History[]
The church was designed by the architect Thomas Fulljames of Gloucester in what The Gentleman's Magazine described as "a neat structure in the later style of Early English".[1] It was consecrated in 1841.[2]
The first minister was Samuel Lysons, rector of Rodmarton. He resigned in 1866.
The curate in 1846 was Lewis Alexander Beck.[3]
St Luke's was demolished in 1934 and stained glass from the building, much of it German or Dutch of the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, was reused at Holy Trinity Church, Longlevens.[4]
