Hutton-le-Hole

Hutton-le-Hole is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, about 7 miles (11 km) north-west of Pickering.

The village bought it and pulled it down in 1934 when a new church, St Chad's, was built; this still stands and forms part of the Benefice of Lastingham.

[17] The world championships in the board game Nine men's morris took place annually at the Ryedale Folk Museum in Hutton-le-Hole until 1997.

[18] In the Victorian period, gentry saw the village as "ill-planned and untidy" and "overcrowded [with] homes of weavers, smallholders and labourers....

[21] The National Park Authority recommends visits to the Hutton le Hole Craft Workshops and Ryedale Folk Museum, followed by a two-mile walk to Lastingham and its ancient church, St Mary's.

[26] The hamlet of Lastingham is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-east of the village,[27] with the Tabular Hills Walk passing through both places.

[29] 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.
