A.C.G.  Calthorpe.

St. Luke’s, Bristol Road.—­The foundation stone of this old Norman-looking church was laid July 29, 1841, but it might have been in 1481 to judge by its present appearance, the unfortunate choice of the stone used in the building giving quite an ancient look.  It cost L3,700, and was consecrated Sept. 28, 1842.  There are 300 free seats out of 800.  The trustees are patrons, and the living (value L430) is held by the Rev. W.B.  Wilkinson, M.A., vicar.
