An unusual venue with a curious history

Located on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter site (ROQ), this stunning Victorian chapel was built as a place of worship for the old Radcliffe infirmary. The hospital opened in 1770 and closed in 2007 relocating to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Headington. St Luke’s was built to replace the original infirmary chapel which was on the second floor of the hospital’s main building. Designed in a simple gothic style, it opened in 1865 and is named after the gospel writer St Luke, the patron saint of doctors. Now deconsecrated, it still retains charming features such as its bell tower, pre-Raphaelite stained glass windows and parquet flooring.
