St Luke's Church was built on it's present site in Church Lane, behind the Market Place and consecrated by the Bishop of Durham on September 20th 1853, . The builders used stones from the former church which used to be to the east of the Market Square. The Vicarage to the west of the church predates the church by some seven years.
