"All Saints Church serves both the villages of Thurcaston and Cropston. A Saxon church on the site was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 but soon afterwards a new church was built, of which now only the Norman South d oor is still visible. The rest of the building has been renovated and extended throughout the centuries up to the latest extension on the north side, the Harrison Room, which was completed in 2008."
