St Thomas' Church, Green Hammerton
St Thomas' Church is an Anglican church in Green Hammerton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The church was designed by George Gilbert Scott as a chapel of ease to the Church of the Ascension, Whixley and was completed in 1876. The village did not previously have an Anglican church, and the construction costs of between £2,000 and £3,000 were funded by donations, co-ordinated by a Mrs Valentine, wife of the vicar of Whixley. It was designed to accommodate 130 worshippers. An organ chantry was added in 1899. One of the smallest of Gilbert Scott's churches, it is criticised by David Cole, who writes that "the heart does not warm to it", although Historic England states that "the quality of the architecture is high, as is the level of artistic achievement". It was grade II listed in 2008.
The church is built of pitch-faced stone with a red tile roof. It has a cruciform plan, consisting of a nave and a chancel, transepts, an organ chantry and a porch. Between the nave and the chancel is a bellcote containing two bells. It has stained windows with glass by Clayton and Bell and James Powell and Sons. Inside, there is a wooden reredos dating from 1934, and a marble font.

Green Hammerton
Green Hammerton is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated on the A59 road, 8 miles (13 km) west of York and 10 miles (16 km) east of Harrogate. Along with nearby Kirk Hammerton, the village is served by Hammerton railway station on the Harrogate line.
(H)ambretone, a place-name reflected now both in Kirk Hammerton ('Hammerton with the church', from Old Norse kirkja 'church') and in Green Hammerton ('Hammerton with the green', from Middle English grene), is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name seems to derive from the Old English plant-name hamor (whose meaning is not certain but might include hammer-sedge or pellitory of the wall) + tūn 'settlement, farm, estate'.
The village has a Church of England parish church, St Thomas' Church, Green Hammerton (see 'External Links' below for a survey of burials in the churchyard) and a church primary school, both located in the centre of the village. The former Congregational church in Green Hammerton, originally built as a Methodist Chapel in the late 1790s, was adapted for use as a Roman Catholic Church, St Josephs, in 1961.
The village pub is the Bay Horse Inn. Green Hammerton Village Hall opened in April 2010: it is run by the Green Hammerton Recreational Charity.
Until 1974 it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the Borough of Harrogate, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
