Church of St Thomas the Apostle, Killinghall, Gothic Revival church in Killinghall, England.
The Church of St Thomas the Apostle is a Gothic Revival building constructed with dressed stones from the local Killinghall quarries. Inside, two arcades are supported by circular columns topped with octagonal capitals.
The building's foundation was laid in 1879 and it opened in 1880 following the division of Ripley parish. This development allowed a growing local community to have its own dedicated place of worship.
The William Andrews organ from 1908 is one of the region's largest instruments and dominates the interior with its impressive presence. It continues to be maintained and shapes the character of the space.
The church is accessible through standard entrances, allowing visitors to explore the interior and its architectural features at their own pace. Check opening times in advance to ensure access during your visit.
The stained glass windows depict Biblical scenes and were frequently created through donations from parishioners in memory of loved ones. These personal gifts tell the story of the connection between the building and its community across generations.
