Hi rottie,
I used to live in West Norwood, St Lukes Church is next to Norwood Cemetery which is quite intresting in it's self ( Mrs Beaton, of cookbook fame is buried there so I believe) try this link to St Lukes.

http://www.stlukes4u.org/history.htm

They mention the workhouse as being where the Woodvale estate is now. There is an estate between Tivoli road and Elder Road which has a Woodvale walk so that looks like the location they mention.
West norwood is in SE27 if you are looking in Google maps.

Good luck.
Mayfield.
