History of St Thomas's Stockton Heath On the south wall between two windows is a three quarter length tiled figure of St Thomas, the patron saint of our church. Known sometimes as ‘Doubting Thomas’, the fact that most people know about him is that he asked to see proof of Jesus’ death and resurrection. He was later a missionary, spreading the Christian message to many parts of the world including India. He is regarded by Indian Christians as the patron saint of India and is also the patron saint of architects, builders and stonemasons. Thomas was martyred at Myalapore, Chennai – the spear in his hand in the picture is a symbol of his martyrdom.
