St Luke's Church, Goostrey
St Luke's Church is in the village of Goostrey, Cheshire, England.
An active Church of England parish church in the Diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Congleton, it is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II*-listed building.
Its benefice is combined with that of St Peter, Swettenham.
Goostrey is first mentioned in the Domesday Book and, by 1244, was a chapelry of the ancient parish of Sandbach in the diocese of Lichfield.
In the 16th century the Booths became established as the local landowners and William Booth (1526–1591), after the accession of Elizabeth I, rebuilt Goostrey Chapel in the Tudor architectural style. Described as timber-framed with a nave and a chancel, by 1617, in the south aisle was a Lady chapel for the Booths of Twemlow. In 1667 an additional side chapel to the south aisle was constructed for Edmund Jodrell of Yeardsley, and enlarged in 1711.
Goostrey's old church was demolished by the Revd Prebendary Charles Everard Booth who died in 1792, and the present church built between 1792 and 1796.
The ecclesiastical parish of Goostrey includes not only the civil parish created in 1936, but also the hamlet of Twemlow, named after the burial mounds or 'lows' found in this part of Cheshire, indicating human settlement over four thousand years ago.
The first documented mention of Goostrey is in the Domesday Book (1086), when most of the parish was held by William fitz Nigel, baron of Halton, and by Hugh de La Mare, lord of Leigh, another follower of the Earl of Chester. They granted considerable land at Goostrey to endow the new Abbey of St Werburgh in Chester, and further land in the area was later given for endowing the Vale Royal Abbey, near Northwich.
