Major Buildings

The Church of St Thomas, the parish church, is a Victorian building of 1843 by Bejamin Ferrey.[2] It is of local red sandstone with a slate roof and in a Middle Pointed style.[3] The interior has memorial tablets to members of the Heathcoat-Amory family,[2] local industrialists and landowners who lived at nearby Knightshayes Court. The churchyard contains a memorial to Michael Heathcoat-Amory by the sculptor Eric Gill.[2] The church is a Grade II listed building.[3]

The vicarage, behind the church, is by the Victorian architect William Burges and was commissioned by Sir John Heathcoat-Amory and constructed 1870-71.[2] The style is Burges's "unmistakable muscular Gothic."[2] The building is of one storey with a garret and a kitchen wing and cost £700.[4] Now a private house, the vicarage is also Grade II listed.[4]

Chevithorne Barton is a manor house of the early 17th century, rebuilt in the 19th century and further remodelled for the Heathcoat-Amory's in 1930.[5] Of three storeys, it contains some original Jacobean platerwork and panelling.[6] The manor house is a Grade II* listed building.[5] Michael Heathcoat Amory (born October 1941, died February 2016) created the arboretum there, and published a catalogue entitled The Oaks of Chevithorne Barton.[7]
