Description
The Church of St. Thomas is a parish church built between 1841 and 1842 by T. Stanley for the Church Commissioners. It is constructed from dressed free-stone with ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with a slate roof. The church is designed in the Gothic style and features a west tower, a four-bay nave, a single-bay chancel, and a south-east vestry.
The west tower consists of three stages, with diagonal buttresses and a crenellated parapet. It has a pointed west door and a pointed west window above it with Y-tracery, along with paired lancets at the belfry level. The nave includes single-light lancet windows, with two located in the west wall and one on each side of the tower. Slim buttresses mark the bay divisions, and there are clasping buttresses at the corners, along with a chamfered plinth and eaves band. The chancel features a window with three lancets, while the vestry has a pointed south door.
Inside, there is a pointed chancel arch and a simple altar rail supported by wrought iron. The Church of St. Thomas is part of an interesting group of buildings that includes The School and The Vicarage.
