St Thomas' Church, Stockport, Grade I listed church building in Stockport, England
The rectangular church features a prominent portico supported by six Ionic columns and a clock tower topped with an open cupola at the west end.
Construction of St Thomas' Church began in 1822 with a budget of £15,611, partially funded through a grant from the Church Building Commission.
The interior displays galleries on three sides supported by square columns that extend to the ceiling as fluted Corinthian columns with late 19th-century stained glass.
The church maintains active services accompanied by a robed choir, with recent additions including new washroom facilities and improved accessibility for disabled visitors.
The marble reredos behind the high altar features a depiction of the Annunciation and includes a copy of Raphael's Transfiguration of Jesus painting.
