Church History

Founded in 1846 as a parish church serving part of the township of Hyde (previously served by Hyde: St. George). The boundaries of "The District of Saint Thomas, Hyde" were described in the London Gazette on 8 September 1846: 

"All that part of the township of Hyde, in the parish of Stockport, in the county and diocese of Chester, situate on the eastern side of an imaginary line commencing at a point (marked a on the map or plan hereunto annexed) on the boundary of such township where it is crossed by the highway, commonly called Hyde Back-lane, from Gee-cross to Hyde, and thence extending northward along the middle of such, highway and of Back-lane to a point (marked b as aforesaid) opposite to the north eastern end of Wood-street, and thence towards the north west along the middle of such street, and of Vernon-street to a point (marked, c as aforesaid) at the extreme southern end of Norfolk-street, and thence northward along the middle of such street as far as the middle of the turnpike road from Hyde to Ashton-under-Lyne, and thence westward along the middle of such turnpike road to a.point (marked c as aforesaid) opposite to the middle of Clarendon-street, and thence northward along the middle of such last-mentioned street, and continuing in a straight direction to the boundary of the said township of Hyde"
