“Did you know this church hosted a sporting legend?” our tour guide asked, gesturing towards St Luke’s Anglican Church. You might not expect a place of worship to be connected to sports stars. But St Luke’s Anglican Church has been home to numerous sporting greats. It even boasts connections to Wally Lindrum, the World Professional Billiards Champion from 1933 to 1950. He was a parishioner of St Luke’s. The church itself, erected in 1857, has a rich history. It was enlarged in 1859 and finally consecrated in May 1861. It served as the parish church for the growing municipality of Emerald Hill, which we now know as South Melbourne. St Luke’s even has a special side-chapel. This chapel, built around 1936, stands as a poignant tribute to the men of the parish who served in World War I. The church has witnessed countless stories unfold within its walls. It’s a testament to the enduring power of faith and community in the heart of Melbourne.
