Description:The Catholic Schoolroom and Chapel on St. Thomas Street (formerly Back Lane) in Tean, built in 1882. Mass was held here until St. Thomas’s Church was built in adjoining land in 1938-39. It remained the Catholic school until January 1969 when pupils moved into the new St. Thomas’s Roman Catholic School. The old schoolroom was then used as a play group and youth centre and is now (2023) St. Thomas’s Day Nursery.
