St Luke�s Church was consecrated on 18^th October 1861 as a chapel of ease for the village. Prior to its construction the congregation would walk to the church at Thornton-le-Moors to attend services. The first incumbent carved the oak framework surrounding a picture of the Good Shepherd, which was painted by his wife and is above the altar.

In approximately 1906 an oak carved chancel screen was added and also panelling around the altar and on both sides of the nave. Just before the 1^st World War a chime of 8 bells was installed, hung in a wooden bell cote, which eventually rotted was removed and replaced by a stone belfry, housing a single bell.
