Crook is a village in Westmorland, on the B5284 road between Kendal and Windermere. At the 2011 census the recorded population was 364.

St. Catherine's church was built in the 1880s by Stephen Shaw, a local architect, in a plain late Perpendicular style. The tower of an earlier church, built about 1620, still stands nearby: the rest of the building was demolished in 1887 owing to structural defects.

A mile to the north of the village, Hollin Hall is a Grade II listed building.[1]
