The Parish Church of St. Thomas - Douglas, Isle of Man - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

The Parish Church of St. Thomasis "a big-boned building of local stone by Ewan Christian. [JB]

Designed to seat over 1,000, half of which were set aside for the poor...

Originally it was designed to have a broach spire which, despite fundraising efforts was never built (supposedly due to instabilities in the tower)

The Organ is housed in the north tower.

Interior has exceptionally fine wall paintings by John Nicholson dating from 1896-8 (lettering was by his brother James Bell Nicholson) as well as much fine stained glass.

Until a fire in 1912 the tower contained the only other set of bells hung for bell-ringing on the Island"
