Summary
| Description |
English: Ecumenical Church of St Thomas the Apostle In Simpson, Milton Keynes.
The church has been dedicated to St Thomas at least since 1847. His feast day is celebrated on 21st December by The Church of England. However, in a will dated 20th April, 1485 (reign of Richard III), John Browne, the cousin of Edmund Lord Grey (Lord of the Manor), included a request to be buried in the cemetery of the Church of St Nicholas at Seveneston. Alas, we do not know when the name was changed. It may have been in 1535 or 1536 at the Reformation of Henry VIII. Efforts to revive the dedication of St Nicholas in 1929 were to no avail! Note the stained-glass, dated 1931, in the 14th century Nave north window, which depicts St Nicholas! His feast day is celebrated on 6th December by The Church of England. St Nicholas, who was Bishop of Myra in Turkey, died in c.A.D.326. He is a patron of bankers and money-lenders, sailors, travellers and children. He is also the figure behind Santa Claus, the proper name of Father Christmas, who brings gifts to children. |
