St. Luke's Church, Nottingham, was a Church of England church in Nottingham at the junction of Carlton Road and St. Luke's Road near Sneinton between 1862 and 1923.
The foundation stone was laid on 2 July 1861. In October 1862, the Commissioners' architect checking on the building declared it unsafe. The roof was too heavy and the walls had bowed out. It was described as a very plain, unpretending structure, an undivided parallelogram, 72 ft long, and 55 ft wide. Extensive repairs were needed to remedy the situation. The cost of the original building was £2,977 (equivalent to £295,540 in 2021),[1], but the repairs cost another £600 - £700.[2]
The first incumbent was Henry Edwin Daniel, a Cambridge graduate. Shortly after his appointment, he died on 29 August 1865 of typhoid.
By 1923, the population of St. Luke's had dwindled and the church was united with St. Philips. The decision was made to close St. Luke's and sell the site.[3] It was demolished shortly afterwards.
The church was demolished in October 1925. The site is now occupied by The Congregation of Yahweh.
