Description:A postcard view of the Altar and Choir in the Pro Cathedral and Priory Church of St Thomas at Hawkesyard, this inter-denominational Church is still in use (April 2018) on a regular basis.

Sometimes known as the Chapel, the Pro Cathedral and Priory Church of St Thomas was built by the Dominicans, who also built a priory here between 1896-1914 to the design of Edward Goldie. They named it Hawkesyard Priory. The organ case in the chapel dates from 1700 and came originally from Eton Chapel.

Over the years the Hawkesyard Estate has been developed and currently (January 2019) there is a Golf Club, Conference Centre, Wedding Venue and Hawkesyard Priory Nursing Home.

The postcard was published by Pascoe & Son, Brook Square, Rugeley.
