Grove Road Cemetery, Harrogate
Grove Road Cemetery, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, was formerly known as Harrogate Cemetery. It was established in 1864 after the spa town expanded and the graveyard at Christ Church became full. The cemetery once had a pair of chapels with spires, designed by Thomas Charles Sorby. Although they were admired by local residents who felt it enhanced the town view, they were demolished in 1958. However the lodge and gates, also designed by Sorby, remain.
The cemetery contains more than thirty military graves and memorials of those who died in service, including those who did heroic deeds, those who suffered accidents, and those who died of the 1918 influenza, many of them in their twenties or thirties. They include the grave of Sergeant Major Robert Johnston, who took part in the Charge of the Light Brigade. There is also the "Bilton Boys" monument to eleven soldiers from Bilton and High Harrogate, who died in the First World War. There are various elaborate memorials in the cemetery, dedicated to the town's worthies, such as Robert Ackrill, George Dawson, Richard Ellis and David Simpson, who contributed much to the town, besides gravestones of significant local artists, architects and historians. Also of interest are the gravestones of former slave Thomas Rutling and long-distance kayaker Fridel Dalling-Hay.
Grove Road Cemetery has suffered several issues in the past three decades, such as the death of six-year-old Reuben Powell, who was killed by a falling tombstone while playing there. The incident initiated the felling of thousands of cemetery memorials across England, which continued for several years until the panic ceased and councils were advised to use discretion regarding historical monuments and consideration of the bereaved. There has also been an issue of dog-fouling across the graveyard.

St Luke's Court
St Luke's Court is a historic building in Harrogate, a town in North Yorkshire, in England.
The population of the High Harrogate area grew in the late 19th century, and in the 1890s, it was decided to build a new church in the parish of Christ Church, High Harrogate. A site off Walker Road was purchased for £1,400, and a building was designed by Thomas and Francis Healey, in the Decorated Gothic style. Work started in 1895, and the church was consecrated on 18 October 1897. The church cost £8,000 to build, and could seat 500 worshippers. A tower and spire were added in 1902, and a clock in 1903. In 1974, a new St Luke's Church was constructed. The old church was grade II listed in 1975, but it was closed in 1980. The building was converted into 29 flats, with work completed in 1983.
The building is constructed of gritstone with a slate roof, and is in Decorated style. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a southwest porch, north and south transepts, a chancel, and a west steeple. The east window has five lights, and contains stained glass by Burlison and Grylls.
