Sandhutton is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England.

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] 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.

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.
