Regarding the patronage of this church: The apostle Thomas, one of the twelve whom Jesus called into the inner circle of his disciples, is not often mentioned in the biblical writings of the New Testament. The passage probably best known to most Christians is the one following 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"). This theme, of course, also provided an opportunity for dissemination in religious art throughout many eras, for example in one of Caravaggio's most famous paintings – if you're interested, see =>> https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_ungl%C3%A4ubige_Thomas_(Caravaggio)#/media/Datei:The_Incredulity_of_Saint_Thomas.jpg – The feast day of the Apostle Thomas in the calendar of saints is sometimes celebrated on July 3rd, sometimes on December 21st.

40 acres of outstanding natural beauty, a salt-water lake and a section of the Sheppey Cycle Route

Barton’s Point is a shingle beach just east of Sheerness. It’s right next to a coastal park and has a traffic-free section of cycleway running along side it. It’s a popular spot for camper vans.

St Thomas the Apostle Church or 'Harty Church' is a quaint grade II listed building dating back to around the 11th or 12th Century. It's a basic church in a remote setting and has no electricity.

Capel Fleet once separated the Isle of Harty from the Isle of Sheppey. If you follow the Harty Ferry Road south east along the river you will reach the RSPB Raptor Viewing Point. A small but wonderful place to bird watch with wide, sweeping views across the farmland.

Famed for being the most remote church in Kent, St Thomas the Apostle doesn't even have electricity. The long road across the marshes and oil lamp lighting give it an old world feel. It dates back to the 11th or 12th century and is open to visitors and for mass on the last Sunday of the month at midday.
