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

[5] In 1953, the last owner of the Scruton estate, Mrs Marion Evelyn Coore, died and the 1,100-acre (450 ha) estate including the public house, village shop, five farms and associated houses were put up for sale.

[6] Scruton Hall was bought by a timber company for the wood within the house and after a few years in decay, was demolished in 1956.

[7][8] Amenities in Scruton include the Coore Arms public house,[9] the village hall (the Coore Memorial Hall) and the Anglican St Radegund's Church which are all venues for village activities.

St Radegund's hosts Church of England services each week.
