The Church of St Thomas
Stanley Crook
Welcome to the Parish of Stanley Crook
Commanding
a truly magnificent view of hills, woodland and pasture, with a hint to
the South West of the Durham Dales and North Pennines ‘Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty’; while to the North the secluded splendour
of the Deerness Valley, the Church stands some 1000ft. above sea level
and overlooks the rapidly expanding town of Crook.

Lord of the land at the top of the hill
Reflecting on christenings that have taken place here
Farewell to loved ones when we part with a tear
A beautiful Bride in her gown of white
A stained glass window letting in God's light
Words and hymns, the sound of a choir
The whisper of prayers to express our desire
Wealth isn't important our dreams to fulfill
In the Little Grey church that stands on the hill.
