- S1 E1 - St Thomas a Beckett ChurchWatch on supported devicesJuly 4, 201158minSt Thomas a Becket church in Somerset is on the heritage critical list and badly in need of rescue. A flood in 1968 led to the church's eventual deconsecration and it is just one of many churches in Britain that has been declared redundant. Decline in church-going and amalgamation of parishes have put a huge swathe of our architectural heritage in peril.Freevee (with ads)
