Church Of St Thomas

The Church of St Thomas, built in 1770 by Richard Gillow, features an added chancel from 1876. Constructed from sandstone rubble with slate roofs, the church includes a west tower, a nave, and a lower chancel with a north transept. The tower and nave are characterized by chamfered quoins. The bell openings are framed with plain stone surrounds, round heads, keystones, and impost blocks. Each of the three walls has an oculus with a plain stone surround. The north and south doors also have similar stone surrounds. The nave consists of three bays and is adorned with tall windows resembling the bell openings, featuring a central timber mullion that branches into Y-tracery, likely a later modification. The transept has a tall single light with a round head in its north wall, while the east window contains three similar lights. Inside, there is a west gallery with a panelled front supported by two slim iron columns. The nave boasts a ribbed ceiling that conceals the upper parts of the roof trusses. The chancel arch is round and plastered. Additionally, the baluster font displays a painted Latin inscription with the date, believed to be 1770.
