Description

The Church of St Thomas is a Gothic Revival church built in 1870. It features hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and has a pitched slate roof with a stone gutter supported by moulded brackets. The church has a five-bay nave with offset buttresses and paired, cusped, arched lights. The chancel is two bays long and has cusped single light windows with a trefoil in the head. The east window is a four-light design with two five-foils and one six-foil in the head. The west window consists of two pairs of slender cusped lancets, each topped with a quatrefoil in a circle. There is a large quatrefoil in a circle at the apex of the west end.

On the south side at the east end of the nave, there is a three-tier tower with a stair turret and a splay-footed stone spire featuring lucarnes with five-foils in the head. The second tier has archivolted paired, cusped lights, and the bell chamber openings are large, louvred two-light designs with a circle in the head. The doorway on the south side has a moulded arched head and a figure in a canopied niche above. A vestry wing is located on the north side.

Inside, the church has an arched braced hammer beam roof and a square font from 1871, which is supported by four marble colonnettes on a clustered base.
