St Thomas' Church is in the village of Crosscrake, Cumbria, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the Deanery of Kendal, the Archdeaconry of Westmorland and Furness, and the Diocese of Carlisle. Its benefice is united with that of St Patrick, Preston Patrick. The church was built in 1874–75, and designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin. It replaced an earlier church of 1773, and cost about £3,000 (equivalent to £250,000 in 2015). Because of structural failure, the tower was reduced in 1944, and then removed completely in 1963. A shallow transept was made to disguise this, and a spirelet was added. The internal furnishings are also by Paley and Austin. The stained glass in the east window dates from about 1890, and is by Clayton and Bell.
