Four photographs of St Thomas's, Hillgate


I recently went past St Thomas's, Hillgate and took some new photographs. On the south side of the church the gravestones have been mostly flattened for ease of maintenance and the large tree has had its branches cut back. If you look carefully you can see a cat at the bottom of the tree.


St Thomas's Parish Church was opened in 1825 having been built as one of a hundred churches funded by grants from the government and regarded as a thanksgiving for victory over Napoleon, hence the name "Waterloo" Churches. St. Thomas was built in the classical style and is now recognised as a building of National importance being Grade I Listed.

    Love the graveyard. Looks like a peaceful resting place.

    That this place appears in the list of buildings of national importance is a good news.
    Have a nice day.

    Quite a beautiful place. No doubt the cat makes that place a regular spot on its rounds.
