St Thomas' Church

St Thomas' Church is a historic church located in Great Shefford, originally built in the Norman style with later modifications. The church features remodelled 15th-century windows and has a nave and chancel under an old tiled roof. Its walls are constructed of flint and stone, with some areas rendered and dressed with Bath stone. The structure includes a simple gabled roof that extends over a small chapel to the south of the chancel, and a plain gabled south porch. There is one two-light and one single light square-headed window with drip moulds, and a wall gabled dormer over the chapel.

Inside the church, there is a notable alabaster tomb dedicated to Sir Thomas Fettiplace and his wife, dating from 1447 and 1442. The north wall of the chancel features a recessed Purbeck altar tomb with brasses and a canopy from around 1520. The chancel also contains 16th-century floor tiles and remnants of paintings above the chancel arch. Additionally, there are remains of a door and part of a rood loft stair, as well as a Norman tub font. The church is currently vested in the Redundant Churches Fund, which is now known as the Churches Conservation Trust.
