History

The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Hoton.[2] Since then it has been known as Hege-Hoton, Hoton under Heg and Hewton. The name Hutton-le-Hole means the place of the burial ground near the hollow,[3] but the full name only dates from the 19th century.[4]

The world championships in the board game Merrills took place annually at the Ryedale Folk Museum in Hutton-le-Hole until 1997.[5] The museum contains 13 rescued and reconstructed historic buildings, including an Iron Age round house, period shops, thatched cottages, an Elizabethan manor house, barns and workshops. They display the lives of ordinary people, up to the present day. There is a cafe, a shop, a gift shop, and in season craft workshops.[6] The folk museum also has the photographic studio of William Hayes, which is believed to be the oldest daylight photographic studio in England, having been set up in the early 20th century.[7]

The Quaker evangelist John Richardson died in Hutton-le-Hole in 1753 at the age of 87.[8]

Geography

Hutton-le-Hole lies in Ryedale on the southern edge of the North York Moors, just 2.5 miles (4 km) north of Kirkbymoorside and the A170 road.[9] The hamlet of Lastingham is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-east of the village,[10] with the Tabular Hills Walk passing through both places.[11]

The stream Hutton Beck wends its way through the middle of the village, criss-crossed by footpaths and wooden bridges.[12] One of the bridges was replaced in 2002 by the North York Moors National Park Authority when pedestrian traffic across increased dramatically, after the village green was designated as a right of way.[13] The stream splits the village green, whose grass is kept short by sheep.[14] Hutton Beck flows into the River Rye via Catter Beck and the River Seven.[15]
