It is is attached to an older building that used to be the church. This is now the Church Hall and is also the home of a popular pre-school. The church and the hall are used by several local community groups.

The Bishop of Salisbury laid the foundation stone of St Thomas's in September 1967. Bad weather during the winter held up the work but the consecration ceremony was able to take place on June 21 1968. The new St Thomas was designed to be light and airy, the altar was free standing to allow the priest to celebrate Holy Communion facing the people, there was a screened off Lady Chapel for private prayer and a large porch to enable people to chat before and after the service.
