| St
Thomas' Church was built in the early part of the twentieth century
and is situated in the south ward of Boston along London Road. It
started in a classroom of the original school building in 1866 and
in 1885 progressed to a tin tabernacle. The need for a permanent brick
building was recognised and in 1909 building commenced, being completed
in 1912.
It
is quite a plain church from the outside although the churchyard
is well maintained. Inside the church the Rood Screen and Tympanum
are a beautiful sight and add to the inner peace of the church.
In
addition to regular worship the church holds a Parish lunch at 12
noon on the first Friday of every month for those who usually eat
alone, there is a small charge of £2.00. Rainbows and brownies
groups meet on Tuesday evenings in the hall. There is also a Mother's
and Toddler's group as well as a Wives Group and Ladies fellowship.
