St Luke's Church is an Anglican church in Endon, Staffordshire, England, and in the Diocese of Lichfield.[1] The building, dating originally from about 1720 and rebuilt in the 1870s, is Grade II listed.
The original church was built in 1719–1721. It had a nave with a west tower, and two galleries, one of which was accessed from external stairs on the tower. It was a chapel of ease for the parish church of Leek, St Edward's; in 1865 the parish of Endon was created, which included Longsdon until 1889.[2]
The church was rebuilt in the 1870s by Beardmore of Hanley, preserving the original tower and its external stairs. The chancel was extended and a south aisle of three bays was added. A stone pulpit was installed, and the box pews were removed. The floor of the nave was laid with tiles by Mintons. A north aisle, similar to the south aisle, was built in 1898. In the 1980s, the Chapter House, an octagonal meeting room, was built adjoining the church on the north-west.[2] [3]
The east window, installed in 1893, is by Edward Burne-Jones; it is a memorial to George Smith of Bank House. Another window was given as a memorial to the writer T. E. Hulme, born in Endon, and killed in the Great War. There is a single bell, dated 1726.[2] [3]
In the grounds of the church is an armillary sundial, commissioned from Robert Foster of Ironbridge, commemorating the centenary in 2014 of the Great War.[4]
