Luckington Church
Luckington was another vill held by the Mortimers
of Wigmore
probably from 1075. Today it is a large church consisting of nave,
chancel, aisles, porches, chapels and a north tower all mostly with
fifteenth century fenestration. The south-east chapel is possibly the
earliest remaining addition to the church and dates back to the
thirteenth century although it was heavily restored in 1872 when the
chancel was also rebuilt. The nave, probably like the destroyed chancel
was early, but all that really remains of this are the much restored
twelfth century arcades leading to the aisles. The tower may be
of the same era as the chapel although the upper floor appears
fifteenth century.
