St Thomas's Church was built in 1870 by F. W Preedy, who was a well known church architect in Worcestershire at this time, on land given by the village with funds largely raised by the village community. Before the Church was built villagers had to walk along the Porters Path to Fladbury Church and they decided that they wished to worship in a church within their own village without having to walk to and from Fladbury Church a return journey of about 3 miles in all weathers.

The Church is an excellent example of a small Victorian village Chapel built of brick with a slate roof complete with a bell turret. The Porch was built after the First world War as a memorial to those from the Parish who died. The pathway to the Porch is lined with old gravestones from Fladbury Church.

The Interior has some excellent stained glass in memory of local people particularly the East Window.

The War Memorial Plaque commemorates those who died from the Parish of Hill and Moor in both World Wars and as there is no outside public War Memorial in the Village, the plaque in the Church assumes greater significance within the village. A Service of Remembrance is held each year in the Church on Remembrance Sunday.

The Church is normally open for visitors Wednesday-Saturday each week and the key holders live nearby for any visitors who wish to see inside at other times.
