Roman Catholic Church of St Thomas, Hawkesyard Priory

The Roman Catholic Church of St. Thomas at Hawkesyard Priory is a priory church built around 1900, designed by E. Goldie. It is constructed of red brick in English bond with ashlar dressings, and features a roof that is hidden behind a plain parapet. The church has a nine-bay nave and chancel combined, with north-west and south-west chapels, a porch, and corner buttresses topped with crocketed pinnacles. It forms the south side of the quadrangle that surrounds the conventual buildings.

The entrance doorway consists of three moulded orders and a four-centered arch. The east window is notable for its seven cinquefoil-headed lights and panel tracery beneath a Tudor arch, with a hood mould that ends in carved angels holding shields. At the top of the east gable, there is a canopied niche that contains a statue. The pointed north and south windows each have three cinquefoil-headed lights with panel tracery and returned hood moulds. The south porch is supported by diagonal buttresses and features a wide Tudor-arch entrance, along with cast iron rainwater heads that have crenellations.

Inside, the church has a hammer beam roof with carved angels attached to the soffits of the hammer beams over the chancel. There is a nearly full-height stone reredos adorned with numerous canopied niches that hold statues. The church also contains a complete set of stalls with elaborately carved backs, and the south chapel features fan vaulting. An organ case from 1700-1701, originally from Eton College, is intricately carved with cherubs. Along the walls of the nave, there are a series of stone tablets designed in the style of Eric Gill. The conventual buildings to the north are not of special interest.
