St Luke's Church, Heage

Highlight • Religious Site

There was a church in existence by 1343 as Nicholas of High Edge (Heage) is recorded as the first priest. The medieval church was nearly all destroyed in a storm on 20 June 1545. The church was rebuilt between 1646 and 1661 incorporating the old east window.

The church was expanded in 1826 and in 1847 the church floor was relaid and a heating system was installed. At the same time as these improvements, the churchyard was consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield on 9 June 1847 for burials.Further restorations took place in 1856. The east window had stained glass installed. The previous heating apparatus was found to be ineffective and was replaced with a hot water system. A new inner porch was added to the door and the vestry was enlarged. Another restoration was needed by 1897. The church was closed for 1 year and 9 months because of a lack of agreement on the position of the altar and communion rails. The dispute ended up in the Consistory Court. In the end, they remained in their original location.
