We are the Church of England parish church for Kingswear village. We are currently holding public worship in line with Church of England advice from Government and Public Health England. So our Sunday services at 10.30am in church have restarted but are a little different to try to keep everyone safe. Please see details in our News story about services restarting.

The church building will also be open for visitors and private prayer 12 noon to 3pm every Wednesday.

Our Church History:

The history of our church includes a tower dating back to 1173 and some of its features include the lid of the tomb of Brother Philip, who looked after the church in the 1200s and is a descendant of one of the soldiers who murdered Thomas Beckett, to whom the church is dedicated. 

Memorials in the church include those to notable local servicemen who lost in World War I and the Falklands War. More details on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_St_Thomas_of_Canterbury,_Kingswear
