St. Luke’s was built on and off between 1936 and 1963. Its unusual design came to a parish priest in a dream one evening. The dreamer was the Reverend William Keble Martin (author of the famous book “The concise British Flora in Colour”) who dreamt with extraordinary vividness of a crowded evening service at Milber Church which had been built and which was of a most unusual design. The architect was Keble Martin’s brother Arthur Martin in London, a fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
The dream became a reality and we continue to worship in this dream like space. We dream of a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ in the sacrament and of a greater knowledge of Him in Milber and the surrounds. St. Luke’s attempts to offer a home and a family where you can rest, worship, pray, and receive the sacrament in confidence and love.
