St. Thomas of Canterbury RC Church

Description

Dedicated to the patron saint of Arbroath, St Thomas of Canterbury RC Church was opened in February 1848. With its distinctive twin turrets it was described as “an ornament to the town” and remains so today. It is home to the only neo-classical chamber organ of its size in the UK. The architect was George Mathewson of Dundee and is category B listed.

There will be a short recital on the neo-classical chamber organ at 1230.
