2. 1880-81 by T H and F Healy. Freely handled C14 Gothic and Perpendicular style. Certain features of the decorative work, more especially the tracery, anticipate Arts and Crafts design. Unusually for this date the church is built of snecked ironstone and sandstone with ashlar dressings. Nave, chancel, low aisles with gabled cross bays and transepts. Principal feature is the virtually detached campanile tower on the north side. Broad windows with low arches to aisles and west end with complex ogee tracery and cusping. Flat arched aisle windows with similar tracery. The tower has a plain sandstone "brick" shaft rising to an octagonal ashlar belfry with panel tracery to bell openings. Water spouts project from string at base of crenellated parapet which is crowned by pinnacles and lucarnes and a short stone spire rises overall. The tower has a crocketed ogee arched doorway above which is set a canopied niche containing a statue of St Luke. The tower of St Luke's makes an important contribution to the Heaton townscape, standing out against the skyline in the hillside.
