Living History
A small Church of England was opened on May 6, 1868, and was named after Saint Luke. It was erected on land given, in 1862, by Mr James Bonney and cost £145 to build. Before this church existed the Rev Mr Martin of Torquay used occasionally to hold services in Mr Nathan’s store, and at these services Mr Ready played the organ. Saint Luke’s Church was enlarged in 1884 to twice its former size and a school-room was also built that year. On 29 November 1906 the foundation stone of a new church was laid. The cost of the new church was £1,100. It was consecrated in December 1909 and has been used for public worship of God ever since.On 2 December 2006 we celebrated 100 years since the foundation stone was laid "to the Glory of God".
