St Anne's-on-the-Sea was developed as a seaside resort in the 19th century, and its first church was St Anne's, completed in 1873.

Architecture
St Thomas' is constructed of red Accrington brick in English garden wall bond, with stonework around the windows in cream Yorkshire stone, and arches, arcades and pillars of red sandstone; the roofs are of red tile. The plan consists of a nave, with a tower to the north-west, aisles to the north and south, and a chancel with north transept. The nave has six bays and clerestoried windows. The tower is square and has diagonal buttresses. It has intricate three-light belfry louvres, and a parapet with pinnacles. The tower is attached to the nave by a covered arcade.
