Newport-on-Tay Parish Church / St Thomas Church

Newport-on-Tay Parish Church / St Thomas Church

During the nineteenth century the population of Newport-on-Tay grew significantly. In the 1860s a campaign developed for a parish church in Newport, rather than local residents having to walk out to Forgan Parish Church. Work began on a parish church in Newport in 1870. The new Gothic style building was designed by the Dundee architects Johnston and Baxter. The church was dedicated to St Thomas in recognition of the medieval chapel of that name which had existed in the Newport area. As of 2024, Newport-on-Tay Parish Church remains a place of worship.
