St Thomas' Church is the parish church of Glaisdale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
In 1585, a church was constructed in Glaisdale, acting as a chapel of ease to St Hilda's Church, Danby.[1] It was demolished and a new church built between 1792 and 1794 in the Gothick style, from which period the nave and tower survive. The church was remodelled from 1876 to 1879, the work including a new east end.[2] The building was grade II listed in 1969.[3]
The church is built of sandstone with a green slate roof. It consists of a continuous nave and chancel, and a west tower. The tower has a hood mould below the bell openings, which have two slightly pointed lights, a parapet stepped up at the angles, and a pyramidal roof with a ball finial and a weathervane. On the south wall of the nave is a sundial dated 1793. The building incorporates the datestone from the old chapel, inscribed "1585".[2][3]
