Sandhutton is a small village and civil parish in Hambleton District of 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]
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]
