St Thomas' Church, East Shefford

The church has its origins in the pre-Norman era, The chancel was added in the 13th century, a south chapel in the 16th century, and a south porch in the 18th century. In 1958 there were plans to demolish St Thomas' but this was prevented by the Friends of Friendless Churches. The church was vested in the Redundant Churches Fund, the forerunner of the Churches Conservation Trust in 1972.

The major feature inside the church is the alabaster effigial monument of Thomas Fettiplace, who died in 1447, and his wife, Beatrice, who died in 1442. On the north wall of the chancel is an altar tomb to John Fettiplace, who died in 1524, and his wife Dorothy. The tomb is plain but it is surrounded by canopy containing brasses. On the floor of the chancel are 16th-century tiles. The font is Norman and has a cylindrical limestone bowl. On the south side of the chancel is a Norman limestone pillar piscina. On the wall above the chancel arch are 12th-century paintings, and on other walls are painted texts.
