St Gregory's Church is the parish church of Cropton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

There was a Mediaeval church in Cropton, which burned down in about 1840. [1] Rebuilding took place between 1844 and 1855, [2] to a design by J. B. and W. Atkinson, in the Norman Revival style. [1] [3] It was long a chapel of ease to St Andrew's Church, Middleton, but in 1986 it was given its own parish. [2] The church has been grade II listed since 1953. [1]

The church is built of limestone on a plinth, with a slate roof. It consists of a nave and a chancel with a polygonal apse in one unit, a south porch and a north vestry. On the west gable is a gabled bellcote containing two round-arched openings with moulded surrounds, a centre shaft with a scalloped capital, and a coved hood mould. The windows have round-arched heads, quoins, and coved hood moulds. Inside the church is a 12th-century font. [1] [4]
