}}St Thomas’ Church, South Wigston is a Grade II* listed parish church in the Church of England in South Wigston, Leicestershire.[3]

History

The foundation stone was laid on 26 July 1892 by Thomas Ingram[4] and it was consecrated on 2 February 1893 by Rt. Revd. Mandell Creighton the Bishop of Peterborough.[5]

It was built in brick with a Westmorland slate roof by Henry Bland to the designs of the architect Stockdale Harrison at a cost of £3,600 ({{Inflation|UK|3600|1893|r=0|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}).{{Inflation-fn|UK|df=y}} It was {{convert|128|ft|m}} long and {{convert|44|ft|m}} wide.

The tower was added in 1901.

Parish status

The church is in a joint benefice with

  • All Saints' Church, Wigston Magna
  • St Wistan's Church, Wigston Magna

Organ

The church contains a pipe organ dating from 1895 by Stephen Taylor of Leicester. It was paid for by Thomas Ingram at a cost of £500 ({{Inflation|UK|500|1895|r=0|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}){{Inflation-fn|UK|df=y}} and dedicated on 26 September 1875[6] by Bishop Mitchinson. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[7]

The Bells

A peal of eight bells was cast in 1901 by John Taylor & Co.[8] On 26 December 1904, seven ringers set a new world record when they rang a peal of 17,184 double Norwich Court Bob, breaking the record set in 1898 at Kidlington by the Oxford Guild. One of the ringers broke down after 10 hour 35 minutes.[9]
