Times gone by

Looking back on St Thomas Church and St Nicholas Church Centre

Our website is a living document - as it grows it will contain its own history.

And as it grows, we'll include historical information that we hope will fascinate and enthrall you.

Events coming up take precedence over events gone by, so this page is going to grow quite slowly!
