Description:St. Thomas' Church, Walton-on-the-Hill, near Stafford was built in 1853 to designs by Little Haywood architect, Charles Trubshaw. Two years after the church opened the spire was destroyed by lightning and was replaced by a wooden spire covered in lead.
This is one of a series of watercolours of all the churches in Lichfield Diocese in Staffordshire, painted by Miss Theodosia Hinckes and Mrs Rebecca Moore (wife of the Archdeacon of Stafford for Lichfield Cathedral) for Lichfield Cathedral between 1857 and 1861.
