Description



TORQUAY

SX9163 ST LUKE'S ROAD
885-1/17/232 (West side)
Retaining and boundary walls to
Parish Church of St Luke

GV II

Retaining wall and west end boundary wall. Presumably 1863,
contemporary with the church & to the designs of A.Blomfield.
Local grey limestone rubble with freestone dressings.
The retaining wall on the north side of the church precinct
has massive 2-centred blind Gothic stone arches. The west wall
has freestone coping and gate piers with square bases and
pyramidal caps.
The retaining wall is an important part of the design of the
church which takes full advantage of a hill-top site.
