Scene Description: Source caption: "Church of St Luke, Upper Broughton. Seen from the south east from Rectory Drive, highlighting the chancel designed by Teulon in 1855.

No entry for Broughton Sulney found in the Domesday survey. Font here noted in Bond (1908). Guilford (1927) reports a late-Decorated basin of a font in this church. The octagonal basin has vertical sides decorated with window tracery; raised on an octagonal pedestal base with some mouldings, but this part appears modern, perhaps of the mid-19th century church restoration by Teulon. Flat octagonal font cover, also modern.
