A church has stood on this site for nearly eight hundred<br />
years and St Thomas’s has always been the church of<br />
the City and Guilds of Salisbury.<br />
Our recently restored ‘Doom’ painting above the chancel arch is the largest<br />
and most complete example still surviving in the UK, painted between 1470<br />
and 1500.<br />
<strong>Visitor</strong>s will also enjoy the strikingly modern altar table, built by local<br />
craftsman Matthew Burt, and created as part of a larger and ongoing project<br />
to reorder, repair and restore this wonderful church.<br />
St Thomas’s is part of the Inclusive Church initiative, which means that we<br />
are committed to ensuring that all are truly welcome, whatever their story.<br />
There are services held daily (except Saturdays) – do join us if you can.<br />
