Description

The Church of St Thomas is a church built around 1880, constructed from brick with limestone dressings and a slate roof. The structure includes a nave, a south porch with a bell turret, a lower chancel, and a north vestry. The windows feature flat heads, with the west window consisting of four pointed lights and engaged shafts. On the north side of the nave, there are three narrow single-light windows with shouldered, cinquefoiled, and ogee heads. The south wall has two two-light windows; the right one has trefoiled lights while the left has shouldered lights. Between these windows is a timber porch resting on a brick and stone base, featuring an outer pointed arch made of timber braces, a cambered tie-beam, and a boarded king-post truss. The bellcote has a square plan, with a slated covering below the timber openings that are decorated with tracery. Above the bellcote is a steeply-pitched shingled roof topped with an iron finial. To the right of the porch is a timber dormer window with carved bargeboards and four trefoiled lights. The south wall of the chancel contains two one-light windows with shouldered and trefoiled heads, while the east window features a pointed head with Geometrical tracery and consists of three pointed lights.

Inside, the nave roof is supported by scissor-braced rafters and trusses with arch-braced collars and V-struts. The chancel arch is pointed and chamfered. The font, believed to have been found in a farmyard on the site of the Church of St Cuthbert at Lower Wick, dates back to the 12th century. It is partly restored and features carvings of figures within a continuous arcade of round arches adorned with chevron decoration, separated by pilasters.
