Description
The Church of St Thomas is a church built between 1792 and 1794, with remodels completed from 1876 to 1879. It is constructed from coursed, herringbone-tooled sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a green slate roof. The church has a west tower, a continuous nave, and a chancel that spans three bays. It is designed in a thin Georgian Gothic style, characterized by Y-tracery, except for the east window, which is part of the Victorian improvements and features cusped bar tracery.
The square west tower includes a drip moulding below the bell stage and has round-arched openings, with slightly pointed openings for the bells. The parapet is stepped up at the corners, and the tower is topped with a pyramidal roof that has a ball and vane. A sundial dated 1793 is located on the south wall of the nave.
