St Thomas' Church, St Anne's-on-the-Sea

St Thomas' Church is an Anglican church in St Anne's-on-the-Sea, a town on the Fylde coastal plain in Lancashire, England. It is an active parish church in the Diocese of Blackburn and the archdeaconry of Lancaster. Designed by Austin and Paley, it is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History and administration St Anne's-on-the-Sea was developed as a seaside resort in the 19th century, and its first church was St Anne's, completed in 1873. The parish of St Thomas dates from 1893 when a small mission church of wood and corrugated iron was built in Orchard Road. When it was clear that a larger and more permanent church was needed, a list was started for subscriptions. Land for the new church was provided by local landowner John Talbot Clifton and brewer Robert Slater Boddington gave £500. Construction began in 1899 to a design by Lancaster-based firm Austin and Paley. The architects had won the commission in a competition held in 1892, and the plans had been agreed by 1895. The planned tower, porch, and two bays of the nave were not built at this time. As then built, the church provided seating for 600 people. The church was dedicated to St Thomas in 1900 by James Moorhouse, the Bishop of Manchester. The tower, porch and extra bays for the nave were added in 1904–05, increasing the seating to 670. On 15 February 1993, St Thomas' was designated a Grade II listed building. The Grade II designation—the third highest of the three grades—is for buildings that are "nationally important and of special interest". An active church in the Church of England, St Thomas' is part of the diocese of Blackburn, which is in the Province of York. It is in the archdeaconry of Lancaster and the Deanery of Kirkham. Both the parish and benefice are called St Thomas. Architecture Exterior St Thomas' is constructed of red Accrington brick in English garden wall bond, with stonework around the windows in cream Yorkshire stone, and arches, arcades and pillars of red sandstone; the roofs are of red tile. The plan consists of a nave, with a tower to the north-west, aisles to the north and south, and a chancel with north transept. The nave has six bays and clerestoried windows. The tower is square and has diagonal buttresses. It has intricate three-light belfry louvres, and a parapet with pinnacles. The tower is attached to the nave by a covered arcade. Interior and furnishings Stained glass in the church includes work by Powells, G. P. Hutchinson, Carl Edwards and Shrigley & Hunt. External features The churchyard contains the war grave of a Royal Artillery soldier of World War II.

St Thomas' Church, Wednesfield

The Church of St Thomas is located in Wednesfield in Wolverhampton, West Midlands. It was originally consecrated in August 1750, as a chapel of ease of St. Peter's Collegiate Church, Wolverhampton and known as the Chapel of St. Thomas in Wednesfield. It became a separate parish in 1849. The church was almost completely destroyed by fire on 18 January 1902, as a result of which the tower is the only remaining part of the original building. The church was reconstructed in similar style to the original and continues in active use as a place of worship, serving most of the town along with its sister church of St. Alban's, and with the neighbouring parish church of St. Gregory's. Made from brick, with ashlar dressing, it was granted Grade II listed status in February 1977, legally protecting it from unauthorised demolition or alteration.

St Thomas More Catholic School, Nuneaton

St Thomas More Catholic School and Sixth Form College (formerly St Thomas More Catholic School and Technology College) is a mixed Roman Catholic secondary school located on Greenmoor Road, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England. It is listed as a specialist Technology school by Ofsted, which requires the school to offer GCSEs in Technology to all students. The principal is Mrs Leearna Thomas who has been in the position since the beginning of 2018 after taking over from Mr Francis Hickey. As of September 2012, the educational establishment has been rated as 'good' ' by Ofsted, who previously gave it an 'outstanding'. History The school was opened as the Arbury Senior Council School on Thursday 18 May 1938. Designed by local architect H. N. Jepson, the school was expected to accommodate 800 students in separate boys and girls departments. Construction on the 13-acre site began in October 1937, with the main block opening as a mixed school with an initial capacity of 400 students. The school and playing fields occupied land originally purchased by the council in the 1930s from the FitzRoy Newdegate family. Mr Alan Grain was appointed the first headmaster of the newly opened school. With the introduction of the Tripartite System, the school became the Arbury County Secondary Modern. In the 1970s, schools in Nuneaton were reorganised by the local authority as part of the nationwide introduction of the comprehensive system. Arbury was merged with George Eliot County High to form a new enlarged school on the George Eliot site. This new comprehensive also absorbed the nearby sites of Caldwell County Junior School and St. Joseph's R.C High School. Forced to vacate their site, St. Joseph's R.C High School opened in 1974 as the voluntary aided St.Thomas More Catholic School on the former Arbury site along Greenmoor Road. The idea of Arbury and St. Joseph's 'swapping' sites was suggested as early as 1969 by the local authority as it planned for the upcoming move to comprehensive education. Academy status In March 2015, the school, together with its feeder schools, completed its conversion into an academy. Whilst retaining its previous name, the school is now a part of the Holy Spirit Catholic Multi-Academy. Its fellow members are: Our Lady and St Joseph Catholic Academy, Nuneaton. St. Anne's Catholic Academy, Nuneaton. St. Francis Catholic Academy, Bedworth. St. Benedict's Catholic Academy, Atherstone. Sixth Form St Thomas More Sixth Form was established in September 2011 with the current director of the Sixth Form being Phil Gray. The current requirements for admission to the sixth form is 5 GCSEs 9-4 with at least a 4 in both Maths and English. Currently only AS and A2 levels are taught at the sixth form as the main education; as well as an additional ASDAN course. References

St Thomas à Becket Church, Widcombe

St Thomas à Becket Church is a parish church of Widcombe in Bath, Somerset southwest England, and is one of a number of churches named after Thomas Becket. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The church was built between 1490 and 1498 by John Cantlow, Prior of Bath Abbey and took the place of an older Norman church. However, there was a common tradition that a weaver was the founder of the church, and an escutcheon bearing a weaver's shuttle can be seen on the outside of one of the north battlements of the tower. It is believed that there was originally a Saxon chapel on the site. The church was commonly called Old Widcombe Church and used to be the principal church of the parishes of Widcombe and Lyncombe. The Domesday survey of 1086 shows a small settlement around the church although no trace of it remains. In 1847 a much larger church, St Matthews, was built in Widcombe parish. On 22 April 1847, it was announced that the church bells, which had for centuries been in the tower of St. Thomas à Becket, were to be removed and installed in the new St. Matthew's. Legend has it that the bells were seized by force from the wardens of St Thomas's. After the opening of St Matthews, closure of St Thomas à Becket was suggested due to its poor condition at the time. However funds were raised for refurbishment and in 1860 three windows were installed, the ceiling of the tower raised by 10ft, with further work being completed in the following years. In 1889 a new organ by Messrs. Clark and Son of Bath was installed, and choir stalls placed in the chancel. On 15 January 1924 what was believed to have been the first ever evening service was held at the church. Parish registers extending back centuries had revealed only morning service had been held there previously.
