Something of a showpiece
village, Hutton-le-Hole provides the rural
setting for the Ryedale Folk Museum, a
remarkable exhibition of rescued and
reconstructed period buildings including a
photographer’s studio, a cruck-framed house
and a row of shops. Surrounded by moors, this
picturesque location is blessed with pretty
stone cottages, glistening streams and a
series of intriguing bridges. The oldest
building here is Quaker Cottage, which dates
from 1695 and is associated with John
Richardson, a missionary to America who
befriended William Penn, the founder of
Pennsylvania. |
