Description: | Work on St Thomas's Church was started in 1849. It was designed by Benjamin Ferry who was a pupil of the great Victorian neo-gothic designer, Augustus Pugin, and the church is very much in the gothic style.
The church was consecrated by the Rt Revd. Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford, on St. Thomas's Day, 7 July 1852. A year later, in 1853, St. Thomas's became the parish church for a new parish which included Poyle, Brands Hill and Colnbrook. Before 1852, Colnbrook was part of the parish of Langley Marish.
St. Thomas's Church is part of the Church of England. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Slough Library | Subjects: | St Thomas's Church ; Church of England ; Parish churches ; Reredos St. Thomas's Church, Colnbrook ; St. Thomas' Church | Temporal: | start=2005-01-01; end=2005-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Jacky Burns | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
