We visited here while in Colonial Williamsburg. Beautiful setting and very knowledgeable and friendly guides. The church is absolutely beautiful, and the stained glass windows are magnificent.

Historic St. Luke's is far enough from the highway that passes nearby that one can almost get a sense of being in another era. It is interesting to sit in this historic edifice and consider the colonists that might have been in this beautiful building when it was new. The grounds are lovely and have been "restored" by the Garden...

Visited St. Luke's Church while staying in Smithfield. Definitely worth the time and small entrance fee. The docent ( Cindy ) was excellent. Very knowledgable and made us feel welcome. If visiting Williamsburg / Jamestown highly recommend a visit to St. Luke's.
This lovely old English Gothic church, tucked back off the existing highway, has been lovingly preserved. We were given a very detailed and informative tour by the docent. A lovely way to spend an hour in this quaint little town.
Thank you for coming. Please come back again!

This is the oldest English Gothic church in the country, built in 1632. The church itself is made of local brick and oyster shell mortar. The inside has 16th-18th century furniture and stained glass.
The woman who gave us the tour was great. She tied the church history in with other local sites from the same time period (Jamestown era)....

Very old and interesting church. Not used as practicing church since 1880s. Very historic. There was an admission charge, I guess to help with the upkeep. Knowledgeable docent.
This super rare example of an early 17th-century english brick church is a must see attraction while visit Hampton Roads and Greater Williamsburg. Part of your day trip to Smithfield, make sure to enjoy the gorgeous grounds and ancient structure. The gift shop is also a welcoming store full of goodies from books that aid genealogical research to jewelry. Charlotte...

Museum you can touch and use - Its still a working church. Loved the area around the church and its history.
this place is a must-see for all Virginians--and for others as well The history of this place is fantastic! The oldest brick church in America--and its charming location makes it a great respite from the surrounding bric-a-brac development---thank you for keeping this place pristine
Lovely setting. This church is small but looks just like you'd imagine a church would have looked back when our great nation was starting out.
