St Thomas’s Chapel of Ease lies on York Road, with the Church of England Primary School standing behind it. The Chapel was completed in 1876, at the instigation of the Rev William Valentine, incumbent of the Parish at the time. It is officially designated as a ‘Chapel of Ease’ as the Rev Valentine’s purpose in building it was to relieve the local parishioners of the need to walk to the Parish Church in Whixley. The building was designed by the renowned Victorian architect, Sir George Gilbert Scott, who had connections with the area. It was designated as a Grade II listed building in 2008 (Historic England List entry Number: 1392840 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1392840 Heritage Gateway). http://www.greenhammerton.org.uk/st-thomas-church/ Green Hammerton Village Website
