Description

Saint Thomas Anglican Church is a one and one-half storey wooden church with a projecting tower centred on the façade and pointed arch Gothic windows with hood decorative mouldings. The church building stands on the main street of Weymouth, Nova Scotia. Both the church and the surrounding property are included in the heritage designation.

Valeur patrimoniale

The heritage value of Saint Thomas Church is its historical role in the community. Built in phases, the nave of the church was constructed in 1864. It was built as a sister parish to Saint Peters Church in Weymouth North. Members in the Weymouth Bridge area could travel to Saint Thomas Church much easier than the long trek to Weymouth North. Much of the money raised to build the church came from local sea captains and ship owners. The church’s first minister was Reverend James Philip Filleul whose ministry in this region extended forty years (1852-1892). The church was deconsecrated in 1977 and currently functions as a community museum.
