St Thomas'S Museum

St Thomas's Museum is a former church built in 1840 by Thomas Davidson. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and some rendering, showcasing a Perpendicular style characteristic of the Church Commissioners. The building features a crenellated parapet and copings on the gable ends of its slate roof. Panelled buttresses flank the east and west fronts, and there is no tower. An addition to the north aisle includes two light transomed windows with four-centred arches. The south side has a range of smaller windows and two doors, with panelled spandrels beneath the four-centred arches and drip moulds above, all below a coved moulded string due to the sloping site. The east porch is rendered and crenellated. Inside, there are tall aisle arcades supported by octagonal piers, and the barn-type roof features elaborate quatrefoil piercing and tracery. The east end contains a polychromed screen and reredos with delicate tracery, along with a stained glass east window by C E Kempe.
