St Luke's Church, Tixover

The church consists of a nave, north and south aisles, chancel and tower. The tower dates from the early 12th century[3] and has a bell inscribed Sancta Fides Ora Pro Nobis,[4][3] which translates as "Holy Faith, pray for us".[5]

The nave and chancel are 13th century and the nave is unusually shorter than the chancel.[3] It has slit windows of an unknown date, thought to be either 13th century or perhaps the Tudor period.[4][3]

The 13th-century north doorway is blocked and has a pointed arch. The north aisle roof is higher than the south aisle because the clerestory on the south side has three Victorian quatrefoil openings.[5] The south porch dates to the 13th century. The pews have poppy head ends, the font dates to the 13th century[4] and the pulpit, which is of Caen stone, dates to 1864.[6]

The original stone seats run along the chancel wall. At the southern end is the Dale monument, erected by Margaret Dale, the third wife of Roger Dale (died 1623), to commemorate her husband after he died.[7] It shows Margaret and Roger kneeling each end of a prayer desk with their kneeling daughters at the base. All their hands are missing and one head of the daughters is missing.[4]
