Church of St Thomas

The Church of St Thomas is a parish church built between 1853 and 1854 by George Fowler Jones. It is constructed from squared sandstone with tooled stone dressings and a moulded plinth string, topped with slate roofs featuring stone copings, crocket finials, a vestry stack, and lead cresting. The church is designed in the Gothic Revival style.

The layout includes a two-bay chancel with a north vestry, two-bay north and south transepts, and a three-bay nave topped with a west bellcote. The gabled east end features a three-light window with elongated quatrefoils in a two-centred head. The transepts each have two-light windows separated by a central buttress, with a multi-foiled circular light in the gable apex; the returns have single windows. The nave is buttressed, with a single light in each bay. The central bay of the gabled west end projects slightly and supports a gabled bellcote with a crocketed gable cross.

The west doorway, flanked by one-light windows, has a two-centred filleted moulded arch with attached jamb shafts and board double doors on elaborate scrolled hinges. Above the doorway is a west window with two trefoiled lights and an elongated quatrefoil in a two-centred head, set back over weathered tabling. Both the west door and window feature hoodmoulds with foliate stops. In the gable apex, there is a sunk quatrefoil set in a chamfered circular surround. The gabled bellcote has paired trefoil-headed lights, and the building is supported by three-stage squat buttresses. The windows are trefoil-headed diamond latticed lancets set in quoined and chamfered surrounds with sloped sills. A moulded sill string, stopped with a foliate boss on each side of the west door, encircles the building. The interior has not been inspected.
