St Thomas' Church, Parkgate

St Thomas' Church in Parkgate is an Anglican church constructed from red sandstone on School Lane. Its facade features five lancet windows along the sides, with traditional stone dressings and a slate roof that define its Gothic Revival character.

The building began as a Congregational chapel in 1843 and shifted to Presbyterian use in 1858. The Church of England took it over in 1917, transforming it into an Anglican place of worship.

This place serves as a chapel of ease for the Parkgate community under the wider St Mary and St Helen parish. It remains an important gathering space for local religious services and community events.

You can find the church on School Lane in Parkgate and it welcomes visitors. An induction loop system is installed to help those who use hearing aids enjoy the services.

After standing closed for 16 years, the chapel underwent a major restoration before the Bishop of Chester rededicated it in 2010. This renewal brought the historic building back into active use as a community center.
