St Thomas the Martyr is a former Church of England parish church on St Thomas Street in the Redcliffe district of the English port city of Bristol.

It has a 14th-century tower, but the nave was rebuilt 1791–93 by James Allen.[1] A substantial reordering was carried out by William Venn Gough between 1878 and 1880, and the top of the tower was remodeled with spirelet, pinnacles, and pierced parapet by Gough in 1896–97.[2]

The interior of the church

Four paintings for the reredos were commissioned from the German artist Fritz von Kamptz in 1906,[3] and are now housed in the south aisle.[2]

Although the church survived the Bristol Blitz of the Second World War, the congregation declined after the war and the church was finally declared redundant. It is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust,[4] having been vested in the Trust on 17 February 1988.[5]

Engraving of St Thomas the Martyr church, published c.1838. The view shows the 18th-century body of the church on the left of the image and the medieval tower in the centre. In front of the church can be seen the graveyard with standing gravestones. In the background can be seen the buildings of the St Thomas Livestock Market, now mostly demolished except the Wool Hall which has been regenerated into a cult music venue called The Fleece.

The organ was built by John Harris in 1729, and attracted the admiration of Handel.[6]

It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.[1]

Like the earlier mantua, from which it evolved,[1] the back of the gown featured pleats from the shoulder, stitched down to mould the gown closely to the body until the fullness was released into the skirt.
