Although the Groombridge church was constructed in 1872, a few years later, the church of St. Thomas was built.

The church at Groombridge was originally built in 1872 as a mission church to the ancient parish of Withyham. In 1884 a new church of St Thomas, Groombridge was built. It was consecrated in 1886 and became a separate parish in August 1886.

On the patronage of this church: The apostle THOMAS, one of the twelve whom Jesus called into the closest circle of his disciples, is not often mentioned in the biblical writings of the New Testament. The most prominent passage is precisely the one after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which has earned him the unflattering nickname "Doubting Thomas" in popular parlance. The evangelist John reports on this in the 20th chapter of his version of the "Good News" (this is the translation of the word "Gospel").
