The growing population also meant that the original parish church was now seen as too small, and designs were commissioned for a new parish church to sit at the centre of the St Luke's burial grounds. James Savage was chosen as the architect, and the foundation stone for the church was laid in October 1820.
St Luke's Gardens ceased to be a burial ground around 1857 and was converted into a public garden in 1881. The gravestones were moved to form a boundary wall that is still present today.
