St Thomas's Church, Derby is a Church of England parish church in Derby, Derbyshire.[4]
The church was conceived as a memorial to the late Archdeacon Thomas Hill. The foundation stone was laid on 25 March 1881 by Mrs. Alfred Oliver, daughter of Archdeacon Hill.[5] The architect was Joseph Peacock of Bloomsbury Square, London. Construction proceeded quickly, with the consecration taking place on 22 December 1881.[6]
In 1996 the four parishes of St James’, Derby, St Augustine's, Derby and St Chad's, Derby were united as the new parish of Walbrook Epiphany.
