St Mary's Church, Sand Hutton
St Mary's Church is the parish church of Sand Hutton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
St Leonard's Church, Sand Hutton was a chapel of ease in the parish of St Botolph's Church, Bossall. From 1840 to 1842 a new church was constructed in its churchyard, to a design by Anthony Salvin, and dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus. In 1861, it was given its own parish, which included the village of Claxton. From 1885 to 1886, the church was remodelled by C. Hodgson Fowler, the work including the addition of a choir. The church was grade II listed in 1985.
The church is built of sandstone, incorporating medieval fabric in the tower, and has a Westmorland slate roof. The church consists of a nave, a south steeple, a chancel and a north organ chamber. The steeple has a tower with three stages, containing a porch with a pointed doorway, a lancet window above, paired bell openings and a broach spire. Inside, there is a memorial to Deborah Read, who died in 1794.

St Leonard's Church, Sand Hutton
St Leonard's Church is a ruined chapel in Sand Hutton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The church was built in the 12th century, as a chapel of ease to St Botolph's Church, Bossall. The chancel was added in the 15th century, but Sand Hutton remained a small settlement, so the church was largely unaltered until it was repaired in the early 19th century. From 1840 to 1842, St Mary's Church, Sand Hutton was constructed in the churchyard, and St Leonard's gradually fell into ruin. The remains of the chapel were grade II listed in 1953. Despite this, the building is in poor condition, with the masonry around the door supported by metal poles.
The chapel is built of stone and pebbles, with dressings in sandstone and limestone. The remains consist of the round-arched Norman south door with wo orders, volute capitals, an incised sundial to the left, and a section of wall to the right containing one two-light square-headed window with Perpendicular tracery. There are vestiges of the east wall, and inside is a cylindrical font.
