St Luke's Church, Queen's Park, Brighton

St Luke's Church is an Anglican church in the Queen's Park area of Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. Occupying a large corner site on Queen's Park Road, it was designed in the 1880s by Sir Arthur Blomfield in the Early English style, and has been given listed building status because of its architectural importance.
==History==
Queen's Park was laid out as an ornamental park of in 1824. Charles Barry was hired to design decorative entrances and a villa for the park's owner. Housing development around the park had started in the 1810s and continued throughout the 19th century.〔 The first Anglican place of worship in the area was built in 1875 and became a chapel of ease to St Mary's Church in Kemptown when that church was completed. The red-brick building was on the west side of Queen's Park Road.〔 In 1880 a separate parish was established, and preparatory work on the new church started the following year on the opposite side of the road.〔 The site was bought for £900; the foundation stone was laid in 1882 by the Bishop of Chichester, Richard Durnford;〔〕 and Arthur Blomfield finished the church in 1885, apart from a proposed spire which was never built because of a lack of money.〔 The new St Luke's Church was consecrated on 16 April 1885.〔 The 1875 building held services until then;〔 it then became the church hall until it was gutted by fire and demolished in the 1970s, after which flats were built on the site.〔〔
The first vicar of St Luke's was Revd Walter Firth, a follower of Tractarianism; services were "High church" in style. He worked hard to alleviate poverty and improve people's lives in the densely populated parish, especially by establishing educational and charitable activities. This style of worship continued under subsequent vicars in the early decades of the church, and became re-established in the 1970s.〔〕 A memorial to the then-incumbent vicar Arthur Young's son, who died in World War I, was erected in 1918; two years later a memorial to all parishioners who had died in the war was added. Finances were always tight, and electricity was not installed until 1947, at which time internal repairs were carried out and some new fittings were added. Despite this, the church was threatened with demolition in 1950; petitions and fundraising were successful in reversing this decision, which had it gone ahead would have resulted in parishioners transferring to St Martin's Church within a newly enlarged parish of St Martin.〔
The parish of St Luke existed as a separate entity until 1974, when it was merged into the newly constituted Parish of the Resurrection.〔 Six years earlier it had been enlarged substantially, both in area and in the number of parishioners served, when the nearby St Matthew's Church closed down and its congregation was transferred to St Luke's.〔 On 1 February 2009 the Team Ministry and Parish of the Resurrection was dissolved and St Luke's once again became a separate parish in its own right. The last team vicar, Fr Christopher Woodman, became the first incumbent of the new parish. Since 2010, the Incumbent has been a Deacon-in-Charge, the Reverend Julie Newson.
