File:St Thomas Thurstonland interior 073.jpg
Summary
Interior of the Church of St Thomas, Thurstonland, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. Built 1870, designed by James Mallinson and William Swinden Barber. Showing carvings on north side of chancel arch, viewed from nave. It is known that Gothic Revival carvings of faces in churches often represented people known to the congregation. This bearded man in bishop's headdress is not Robert Bickersteth, Bishop of Ripon, who consecrated the church in 1870 - he had no beard. The church is consecrated to Thomas the apostle who is represented in a canopied statue over the main church door, so perhaps this is the other St Thomas - Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Becket?
