English: St Luke's Chelsea, near to Chelsea, Kensington And Chelsea, Great Britain.
In the early 19th century, the original Chelsea Parish Church (now known as Chelsea Old Church) was becoming too small for a rapidly increasing population. As part of the national church extension scheme, the parish built four new churches between 1820 and 1850, all designed in the Gothic style favoured by the High Church. The first of these was St Luke�s, the first Gothic Revival church to be built in London and designed by James Savage, one of the foremost contemporary authorities on mediaeval architecture. It was designed to make a statement, using golden Bath stone and with a flying-buttressed exterior based on King's College Chapel, Cambridge. The grand scale reflected the wealth of the Chelsea parishioners, who provided almost all of the funding. It took four years to build and was consecrated in 1824. |
