About Stokesley Deanery

Stokesley Deanery is a group of parishes and benefices (see here for full details of each) within the Diocese of York. We are a wonderfully diverse group encompassing everything from small rural parishes to those in Urban Priority Areas on the outskirts of Middlesbrough. The Deanery includes suburban estates, two market towns, several villages and the largest private housing estate in Europe! We have a three synods (meetings) each year attended by representatives (both clergy and laypeople) from each parish.

A note on our AI use – though some of our parishes use AI to create content and I will share this content on their behalf, I don’t knowlingly use generative AI to produce content (neither words nor images) for these pages or the Deanery’s Facebook feed. All errors are therefore my own!
