St Luke's Church, Wallsend
The Church of St Luke is a Church of England Grade II* listed church located in the centre of Wallsend, North Tyneside, next to Station Road. History Due to an increase of the population in Wallsend, supported by both coalmining and shipbuilding industries, the parish of St Peter, Wallsend was divided in 1887, with the western portion becoming the new parish of St Luke, complete with a new church. The foundation stone was laid in 1885, and the building was consecrated in 1887, although construction was not completed until 1906. One of the key donors to the new building was George B. Hunter, then managing partner of the Swan Hunter shipbuilding company. The long association between the church and the company (whose yard is just down Station Road) saw St Luke's nicknamed the ‘Shipyard Church’. In 2001 the parish was merged with that of St Peter, Wallsend, reuniting the original parish and the two sister churches. Tradition The church was founded in the Anglo-Catholic mould ...
