St Thomas à Becket Church, Widcombe, Medieval parish church in Widcombe, England.
The stone structure features a square tower, pointed arches, and Gothic windows characteristic of late 15th-century ecclesiastical architecture in Somerset.
The church was constructed between 1490 and 1498 under Prior John Cantlow of Bath Abbey, replacing an earlier Norman building on the site.
The north battlements display a weaver's shuttle insignia, connecting the church to the textile industry that shaped local community development.
The church holds regular morning services and maintains burial records dating from the 1700s, with graves still visible in the surrounding grounds.
In 1847, the church bells were transferred to the newly built St Matthews Church, generating local stories about their forceful removal.
