St Thomas' Church is an Anglican church in Sutton-in-Craven, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
Sutton was long in the parish of St Andrew's Church, Kildwick. From 1868 to 1869, a church was constructed in the village, to a design by William Henry Crossland. Crossland intended for the tower to support a spire, but one was never added. The church was grade II listed in 1984. [1] [2] In 2015, some of the pews were replaced by chairs. [3]
The church is built of stone with a slate roof, and consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a north porch, a chancel, a north organ loft, and a west tower. The tower has diagonal buttresses, a string course with a grotesque gargoyle on each corner, louvred bell openings with hood moulds, and an embattled parapet with crocketed pinnacles. In the organ loft is a rose window. Inside, the capitals are carved in the shape of foliage, each one having a unique design. There is a white marble pulpit and a font in the classical style, and many of the windows contain stained glass. [1] [2] [4]
