Description
The Church of St Thomas is a church built in 1838, with a tower added in 1894. It features plastered stone, while the tower is constructed from stone rubble with slobbered mortar, some roughcast, and ashlar dressings, topped with a slate roof. The church has a four-bay nave and a west tower. The nave includes a coped east gable with kneelers and a cross, along with a diagonal buttress on the south side. There is a narrow stack to the north of a three-light traceried window that has single-chamfered mullions. A later lean-to outbuilding is attached to the north end. The south facade of the nave has lancet windows with chamfered reveals, while the north facade features an organ loft beneath a catslide roof. This side has two bays, with a three-light single-chamfered mullioned window that includes a transom.
The tower has a bell stage above a weathered band, which is plastered on the west side, and it is topped with an embattled parapet and a squat pyramidal roof with a weather vane. The west window consists of three round-headed lights, and there is a four-light window on the north side, accompanied by a weathered buttress at the angle. A south stair turret, covered by a lean-to roof, has a window with two round-headed lights. The gabled porch features a Tudor-headed entrance and a lozenge with the date 1838. The bell stage has three louvred openings on each face, except for the east side, which has only two.
Inside, there is a stepped round arch on corbels leading to the tower, which has fluted beams. The vestry is partitioned off. The font is made of marble and is in the form of a four-lobed chalice. The nave has a boarded roof with tie beams and hat pegs on the backs of the pews. There are enriched stall fronts and a reredos, along with turned balusters on the altar rail. The east window features stained glass depicting the Good Shepherd, dated 1867. An older square font, dated 1709, is supported by a chamfered pier. A wooden wall memorial commemorates Ienet Kitchin, who died in 1712 at the age of 103, and includes a panel with an entablature and apron featuring a skull and crossbones.
