Saint Thomas Episcopal Church and Rectory is an historic Episcopal church located on Putnam Pike in the village of Greenville in Smithfield, Rhode Island.

Resolved Waterman donated land for the church. Prominent architect, Thomas Alexander Tefft built the church in 1851 and it opened on February 5, 1851, consecrated March 9, 1852. According to "The History of the State of Rhode Island" "Rev. James H. Eames was chosen rector at its organization, and remained until March 8, 1857. The church was built out of funds raised partly upon subscription, and partly from a fund furnished by the diocese. The rectors following the Rev. James H. Eames, have been Revs. Benjamin H. Chase, George A. Coggeshall, Eben Thompson, Edwin C. Sweetland, and others." [http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rigenweb/article238.html ]
