St Luke & St John
About our ParishThe parish is located near to the centre of Cheltenham in a relatively affluent part of town, yet with pockets of typical town centre diversity and social and indeed ethnic mix. To the west is the town centre parish (St. Mary/St. Matthew) and the town centre is ½ mile away.
The parish is mostly residential with a mixture of Georgian town houses (many of which have been converted into flats) plus terraced housing and some 1930’s semi detached properties.
The Cheltenham General Hospital, by far one of the largest employers in the town, is located in the parish near to the church building. The fire station, the open air swimming pool and Cheltenham Boys College are all located within the parish.
St. John’s Church of England primary school (the church school of the former St John’s church which merged with St Luke’s in the late 60’s) is and remains a fundamental part of the life and work of the Parish, and church members are foundation governors.
