St Thomas's Church the beginning. A contemporary illustration of St Thomas's shows an imposing building with Chipman's windmill at Holloway Head in the distance. The church was designed by architects Rickman and Hutchinson, inspired by the classical buildings of ancient Greece. The foundation stone was laid by the Bishop of Worcester on 22 October 1829. It cost His Majesty's Commission pver £14,000 to build. Serving the growing community between Holloway Head and Five Ways, the church could accommodate over 2,000 people. Social responsibilities to its parishioners were taken seriously and clubs were established in the 1830s for sick pay, medical attendance and life assurance. The church played a part in the political upheavals of the period and was the site of a protest aimed at electoral reform and led by Chartists. During the protest, on 4 July 1839, the railings were uprooted and used as missiles.

THE MYNDE WALL CHARTIST UPRISING In the last quarter of the twentieth century we have taken the Right to Vote for granted. This was not always so and in 1839 after the failure of petitioning the Government of the day, the men of Britain and South Wales sought to change the system through marches and demonstration - this was known as The Chartist Uprising. John Jenkins the owner of the Mynde House and Master of the Ponthir Tin Plate Works, concerned for his property, constructed the Mynde Wall in order to keep marauding demonstrators out. The wall in front of you is what remains of his efforts.
