West Lutton
West Lutton is a village in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 9 miles (14 km) east from Malton, and within the Yorkshire Wolds. The hamlet of East Lutton is 0.5 miles (0.8 km) to the east. The village lies in the Great Wold Valley and the course of the winterbourne stream the Gypsey Race passes through it.
The name Lutton derives from the Old English Ludatūn meaning 'Luda's settlement'. They are recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086 as one location, and were home to at least five families. In common with other villages at the time, the Luttons suffered during William the Conqueror's Harrying of the North, during which many farms and homesteads were laid waste, evidenced by the dramatic drop in their annual contribution to the local landowner: from £14 in 1066 to less than £1 in 1086.
West Lutton forms part of the civil parish of Luttons. It was historically part of the East Riding of Yorkshire until 1974. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Ryedale, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
St Mary's Church, West Lutton, is designated a Grade II* listed building. The church contains a sculpture by the Derbyshire sculptor James Redfern.
In 1823 West Lutton was in the parish of Weaverthorpe, the Wapentake of Buckrose, and the Liberty of St Peter's in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Population, including East Lutton was 311. West Lutton occupations included six farmers, one of whom was also a grocer and another a wheelwright, two further wheelwrights, a blacksmith, two shoemakers, two tailors, and the landlord of The Board public house.

St Andrew's Church is the parish church of Kirby Grindalythe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
A church was built on the site in the 12th century, from which period the lower part of the tower survives, along with some of the stonework of the nave. The upper part of the tower is 14th century, but the remainder of the building was reconstructed between 1872 and 1875 by G. E. Street. The building was grade II* listed in 1966. The church was temporarily closed in the 2000s due to falling masonry, but was restored at a cost of £500,000, most of which cost was met by English Heritage.
The church is built of sandstone and has a tile roof with pierced cresting. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, a north aisle, a south porch, a chancel with a north chapel and vestry, and a west tower. The tower has four stages,and a northeast stair turret with a conical roof. In the bottom stage is a doorway with a stepped round arch, above which are slit openings, a string course, two-light bell openings with pointed heads and hood moulds, a corbel table, a plain parapet with corner pinnacles, and a recessed octagonal spire with a weathervane. The roof is tunnel vaulted.
Inside the church, there is a sedilia, of which the outer seats are Norman; an aumbry, and a reused piscina. There is a square font which is a replica of a 12th-century font built into the tower. The west wall has a large mosaic of the Ascension of Jesus by an unknown Italian artist, and an alabaster and marble altarpiece by James Redfern. The stained glass windows are mostly by Clayton and Bell, with those in the south aisle by Burlison and Grylls. In the chapel is a 12th-century arcaded tomb, which may be that of Walter Espec.
