Holtspur: The Church of St Thomas

Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 26 Jul 2014

With the post-war spread of Beaconsfield and the swallowing up of the hamlet of Holtspur the need for a church was perceived as urgent and a structure was first built here, on Mayflower Way, for that purpose in 1949. The present-day church building seen here dates from 1961. The site was once inside the curtilage of the old brick works that extended southwards to the road between London and Oxford. (Photographer's note. No amount of digital manipulation will turn this photo into anything worth looking at! It's the wrong view at the wrong time of day and in the worst lighting conditions. Apologies but at the time of writing it is the only photo of the church on the website.)
