Edmund Thomas Blacket, who arrived in Sydney in 1842, was the pre-eminent architect of his time in New South Wales. St. Luke's Church represents one of his last designs and one of only a few built west of the Blue Mountains. In 1874 the Church Building Committee decided to build a new Anglican church to replace the crude timber slab shed which was the first St. Luke's. The Committee's Chairman was T. A. Browne, Gulgong Gold Commissioner, best known under his pen-name Rolf Boldrewood, author of Robbery Under Arms (1888). The church was opened on 2 Nov. 1876.
