Sandhutton is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It lies about 3 miles (5 km) west of Thirsk on the A167. [2] It has been referred to as Hutton, Hutton (Sand), [3] and Sand Hutton. The name derives from Old English sand-hōh-tūn which translates as a sharply projecting piece of sandy ground with an enclosure, farmstead or village upon it. [4]

Contents

East of the village, on the road to Carlton Miniott, is the Sand Hutton Cross which is now a listed monument. The cross marked the point at which three parishes met and is designated due to the fact that it has survived despite intensive arable farming in the area. [5]

In 2017, a 45-acre (18 ha) solar farm was installed to the east of the village. The scheme involved the placing of 20,000 photovoltaic panels that would generate up to 5 MW and would have a life expectancy of 25 years. [6] [7]

Sandhutton is the location of Breckenbrough School, an independent special school. [8]

Transport

The village lies on the A167 road [9] which has a junction with the A61 road just south of the village at Busby Stoop. The Leeds and Thirsk Railway had a station called Topcliffe which was situated just south of the crossroads at Busby Stoop, however, this closed in 1959 [10] and the nearest railway station is Thirsk which is just over 2 miles (3 km) away.
