The St Luke's Anglican Church, Wallsend is built on land donated by the Newcastle Wallsend Coal Company in 1862. Until the timber-slab school-church was erected and opened on 12/3/1864, services were held in the blacksmith's shop at the mine.The present church was opened and dedicated on 12/12/1880 by Bishop Pearson. It was consecrated by Bishop Stretch on 23/10/1910. (For the fuller account see - https://www.stlukeswallsend.church/history/).
