St Luke's C of E (Evangelical) Church, Blakenhall, Wolverhampton
Built 1860-1861.
Pevsner: "[Robinson] could evidently be what Goodhart-Rendel called a rogue architect. The church is furiously unruly. Red brick with yellow and black brick, SW steeple with a highly fanciful spire. Windows with plate tracery. But the clerestory windows are spherical triangles filled with roundels. Polygonal chancel. Inside, the piers are of iron, thin and doubled - longtitudinally, not transversely. Who in the name of reason would do that?" Grade II listed. http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/listed/stlukesch.htm
Never mind all that! The church looks magnificent in the sunlight!

The spire of St Luke's at Blakenhall, Wolverhampton
An interesting telephoto shot between the buildings and across the rooftops from Cross Street South. Bright sunshine is needed to obtain a shot like this, as the character of the decorative rogue Gothic brickwork mellows considerably in more subdued illumination. A Grade II* listed building.
