Notes: The following photographs were taken by local Bath photographer Thomas R. Draper soon after he set up shop in Bath around
1890. As written alongside the photograph and penned-in on the stone above the door, construction on the church began in 1734,
though it wasn’t completed until 1735. At some point, there was probably a wooden tower or steeple was attached to the front
of the building, but it collapsed during a storm sometime in the mid-nineteenth century. This picture shows St. Thomas Church
very much as it would have been when Mary Laughinghouse described it in her 1892 diary entry.
