Church Of St Thomas

The Church of St Thomas, built between 1844 and 1845 by Richard Lane, features a chancel added around 1870. It is constructed of coursed rubble and has a plain and fishscale tile roof. The church includes a west tower, nave, chancel, and a south-eastern vestry. The two-stage western tower has an octagonal spire, a blind wall on the lower stage, and clasping buttresses with offsets. There is a stone band between the stages and a louvred lancet bell-opening above, which has a hood mould with decorated end-stops.

The west front has a lower wall that projects to the level of the clasping buttresses, creating a deep reveal for the west door. Above this, the wall is recessed between the buttresses. It features a two-light decorated window with cusping and a quatrefoil at the apex, along with a hood-mould that has floral end-stops. A circular clock face is positioned above, with a lancet window above that, similar to the southern and northern fronts. The broach spire has lucarnes on alternate faces.

The nave consists of five bays. The south front has projecting plinths that support pilaster buttresses, which rise to three-quarters of the wall's height before terminating with offsets. Simple lancet windows are placed between, framed by ashlar quoins and voussoirs. There is a gabled porch, which is a later addition, located in the second bay from the west. A simple corbel table runs below the eaves. The adjoining vestry obscures the chancel and has a gabled end with a central chimney stack.

The north front is similar to the south but lacks the vestry and features a quarter-octagonal stair turret at the angle between the west wall of the nave and the west tower. The nave and chancel roofs have bands of fish-scale tiling alternating with plain tiles.

Inside, there is a very deeply chamfered arch leading to the chancel, with a pulpit set against the right-hand reveal and a passage staircase to the pulpit from the vestry. The pulpit and capitals are enriched, and the east window has three lights, including two sexfoils and one cinquefoil at the apex. The stained glass dates from around 1860, and there is a western organ gallery supported on iron columns. Monuments within the church include one to Edward Marsland from 1869 by M Noble and another to E Thomas Marsland, also from 1869 by M Noble.
