St. Luke's Church, Formby
This is a historic church because this is an ancient site. They have a 12th Century font from the original Formby Chapel. The Church before this one was destroyed in a sandstorm in 1739, a storm so bad that it obliterated all the boundary marks. There is a new boundary marker dated 1746.
It was the coming of the railway,and the prospect of a growing seaside resort that led to the building of a new church. Miles Formby had the idea. He died, but his sister, Mary, and his brother, Richard, built the nave and porch and the Church was consecrated by the Bishop of Chester in 1855.The Chancel and Aisles were added by Richard's daughter Caroline in 1897 in memory of her father.
