St Luke's Church

King St, Dukinfield, Tameside

St Luke's Church.

This Anglican church is on the east side of King St and it opened in 1889. However, the 1881 census records that the curate of St Luke’s was the Revd William Quibell who was resident on Old Rd, Dukinfield. This indicates that the present church is the second Dukinfield church with this name. Revd William Quibell was born at Hull, Yorkshire, in 1857 and he married Louisa Wileman at Lincoln in 1883. By 1891 he was a rector at Keele, Staffordshire. He died at Lincoln on the 9 Oct 1940.
