Actually a Chapel of Ease, it has a medieval west tower with Norman arch. By the early 17th C. it was falling into disrepair and was bought by Thomas Garrett and revived as a Chapel in 1619. He also set up a Trust Fund for a Boys' school, indeed the church is still owned by the Trust. At that time the church (with the exception of the tower) was built of brick, and was rebuilt in stone in the 1860's. In 1995 it was dedicated to St Thomas.
