St Thomas of Canterbury Church, Chester, Gothic Revival church in Chester, England.

The St Thomas of Canterbury Church stands on Parkgate Road with its pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large stained glass windows throughout the structure.

The church construction began in 1869 under architect George Gilbert Scott's direction, achieving completion in 1881 as a response to Chester's growing population needs.

The building maintains strong Anglo-Catholic traditions through regular services, including Low Mass and High Mass, connecting the local community through religious practices.

The Grade II listed structure includes a chancel with south aisle and three-bay aisled nave, offering spaces for different types of religious gatherings.

Two detailed reredoses carved by Charles Deacon in the early 20th century enhance the church's interior architectural elements.
