Our parish directory is woefully out of date. The last one was produced almost four years ago. An up to date directory is vital, so we need to know that your information is correct. If you have started coming to St Luke’s since 2006, or have changed any of your details since then, please let us know. Over the coming weeks there will be a form at the back of the church for you to enter your details. Since we last updated the directory, a great many more people have acquired email addresses. It would be great to have emails as well as phone numbers, so please leave details if you can. Email The Parish
St Luke's is the old village church of Brislington. Until the early 1930s Brislington was still a village outside of the city of Bristol, and part of Somerset. The area around the church is still referred to by many as 'The Village', although it is extremely difficult to recognise any vestiges of village life now, with the A4 Bath Road flowing through the heart.
There are many good guides to local history, such as Brislington (Archive Photographs) compiled by Judy Chard, Mary Mitchell and Jonathan Rowe.
Modern Brislington, and the Parish of St Luke's, now extends way beyond the original village boundaries. The trading estate and newer (1980s) retail park make the area a magnet for a great deal of traffic, and the A4 is often a slow moving traffic jam at peak times.
The usual house building has brought many people into the area, but once in Brislington, people tend to stay put for some time. We are close (2.5 miles) to the city centre, and well served with buses both into the city and also out to bath which is 10 miles away.
There are three 'sets' of primary/junior/infant schools, a secondary school and a tertiary college close by, and two substantial supermarkets on teh edge of the parish.
