Church of St Thomas à Becket
The ancient and beautiful Grade 1 Church of St Thomas à Becket was built in c 1100 AD so has stood in Tilshead for over a thousand years.
An extensive programme of repairs and redecoration was carried out during 2011, and as a result the architect’s 2012 Quinquennial Inspection report showed the church building to be in good condition. The Ministry of Defence is our Lay Rector, and is therefore responsible for repairs to the chancel, and there is a well-supported and active Friends of Tilshead Church which helps with the maintenance of the fabric of the church.
The church is cleaned and decorated by a rota of volunteers, many of whom are not regular churchgoers. We are lucky to have a very good Willis pipe organ and an exceptionally gifted organist.
There are photographs of the Church in the Village Church photograph album.
