The Church of St Thomas in Wells, Somerset, England, was built in the 1850s. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The church was built during 1856 and 1857.[1] It was extended by Samuel Sanders Teulon in 1864.[1]
The church commemorates the work of Richard Jenkyns the Dean of Wells who had cared for the poor in the east of the city.[2]
In 2017 the refurbishment of the church included the installation of a servery and community room, which will be used for concerts and other events.[3]
The parish is part of the benefice of Wells St Thomas with Horrington within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[4]
On 18 February 2022, during Storm Eunice, the tip of the church's spire fell to the ground.[5] The spire was restored with reinforcement added to stop it falling over in the future.[6]
The polychromatic stone building has Doulting stone dressings and a slate roof. It consists of a five-bay nave, chancel, south aisle and a north porch. Beneath the tower and spire are the vestry and organ chamber.[1]
The stained glass is by William Wailes.[1]
