Full Description
St Luke's Church, Church of England, Virginia Street, Gillingham. The present building was built in 1908 in red brick, in the perpendicular style, with some work by Sir Ninian Comper and Sir Edwin Lutyens (whose brother was a former vicar). It is one of the very few churches in Rochester Diocese that comes under the episcopal care of the Bishop of Fulham. The young people in evidence were mostly involved as servers or choir members. The buliding is still in use.
From 1890 services following the Catholic tradition within the Church of England were held in the Mission Room , on the same site, till the congregation outgrew the room.
