St Thomas' Church, Stockton Heath is in Stockton Heath, to the south of Warrington, Cheshire, England. The church has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building,[1] and is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth.[2]
History
The present church was built in 1868 on the site of a former church built in 1838.[1] The architects were the Lancaster partnership of Paley and Austin.[3]
Architecture
It is constructed in pinkish-red sandstone with Westmorland slate roofs. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave with a south aisle under a parallel ridged roof, a south porch, a north transept, a north vestry, a two-bay chancel and a west tower. The tower is in four stages with an octagonal southeast turret and an embattled parapet.[1]
The chancel is decorated with richly-coloured patterned tilework and the reredos is of marble and embossed patterned tiles.[1] The organ was built around 1880 by Young and Sons and rebuilt in 1963 by Rushworth and Dreaper of Liverpool.[4]
