Custodial history:
St Thomas's was founded by Eleanor Egerton, Countess Grosvenor, in 1819. It was consecrated on 17 November 1819 as a chapel within the parish of Radcliffe. It was assigned a District from Radcliffe, by Order in Council, 3 May 1839 [London Gazette, 5 July 1839]. On 21 July 1862 the foundation stone of a new building was laid and this church was consecrated on 9 October 1864, though the tower was not added until 1871. By Order in Council, 16 May 1878, [London Gazette. 24 May 1878], part of the parish was assigned to the new church of St Andrew, Black Lane.
The parish boundaries were slightly altered by Pastoral Order, 6 December 1973, (London Gazette 20 December 1973). St Thomas's parish was united with St John's, Stand Lane, when St John's church was made redundant, by Order in Council, 26 March 1974, [London Gazette, 29 March 1974, and the united parish became St Thomas and St John, Radcliffe. By Order in Council, 2 August 1989, part of St Saviour's, Ringley, was added to the parish of St Thomas and St John.
