About the appeal

St Thomas’s is a Grade 1 listed Georgian building. It has a very special plaster barrel vault ceiling (not unlike that of St Martin’s in the Fields, London) and also some fine stained glass with unusual windows by the Bromsgrove Guild. It plays an important role in the life of the town centre of Stourbridge.

Because of its age, it is in continual need of repair and maintenance to preserve its heritage. We have made steady progress in repairing the external fabric of the church and securing the integrity of the building. However, much remains o be done, including works on the Barrel vault ceiling, the stained glass windows and improvements to the facilities in the church hall. (see latest fund raising news on the home page)

Work to date has been supported by generous donations from individuals in many parts of the world, our own fund raising events and grants from various trusts and government bodies including English Heritage. To date we have raised and made good use of over £400,000; but to complete all that needs to be done will require at least a further £250,000. It is this that we are in the process of raising at the present. Donations to the appeal are very welcome.
