History of St. Luke's Church
The church building you see today was officially opened on October 18, 1906. This date is known as St. Luke's Day. The Bishop of Derby, a senior church leader, led the special ceremony.
The church was built thanks to a generous gift from Mrs. S. Wood of Moorfield. It cost about £4,000 to build at that time. This was a very large amount of money over a hundred years ago!
