St.Thomas' church
Grade II listed building with an interesting history. The tower is clearly medieval and has a Norman tower arch with waterleaf capitals, but was in decay by 1619 when Fen Drainage Adventurer Thomas Garrett founded a chapel of ease to Washingborough. In 1865 Michael Drury adapted the fabric to become the village school, a function continued until the mid-1970s. It is now a place of worship and the Thomas Garrett Heritage Room

St Thomas' church, Heighington
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.
