St Luke's church, at the junction of Berry Street and Leece Street was built in the first half of the 19th century.

In 1941, it suffered a strike by a Luftwaffe incendiary bomb. It has been left to stand as a memorial to those times, with the grounds forming a public park. It's known locally simply as "The bombed-out church".
