St Luke's Heritage
Mary's Legacy
Mission & Vision
Discover the inspiring legacy of St Luke's Housing Society and the adjacent St Luke's Hospital, both brought to life by the visionary Mary McMaster formerly known as Mary Neville. Her remarkable journey is beautifully chronicled in her book, *The Vision, the Quest and the Goal*. Born on March 15, 1914, in Chatham, Mary’s passion for physiotherapy blossomed at the Middlesex Hospital, leading her to significant roles at Stoke Mandeville and what is now the Nuffield Orthopaedic. Her dedication continues to influence and uplift the community to this day.
Mary envisioned creating a community and facilities to support and care for residents with health and mobility needs. This vision led to the establishment of St. Luke's Hospital, which opened its doors in 1982, followed by the founding of McMaster House just two years later.
