Huttons Ambo railway station

Huttons Ambo railway station was a minor railway station serving the twin villages of High Hutton and Low Hutton, and the village of Menethorpe, in North Yorkshire, England, on the York to Scarborough Line. The villages were previously known as Hutton on the Hill and Hutton on Derwent. They were coupled together in 1589 (Yorkshire Fines, Tudor, m., p. 107). The station was opened on 5 July 1845 by the York and North Midland Railway. It closed to regular passenger traffic in 1930. The last station master was Mr Ken Collinson. The station was originally just named Hutton, but was renamed Huttons Ambo on 1 February 1885. At one time, mathematician Karl Pearson's grandfather was stationmaster here, and John Cariss was porter. In 1913, legislation was passed for a narrow gauge railway to Burythorpe, but this was never implemented.

St Margaret's Church, Huttons Ambo

St Margaret's Church is an Anglican church in Huttons Ambo, a parish in North Yorkshire, in England. A small church was built in the High Hutton area of the parish in the mediaeval period, with a chapel of ease in Low Hutton. The church was refurbished in the late 18th century, while the chapel was in poor repair, and was demolished in 1800. By the 1850s, the church was also in poor repair, so it was demolished and a replacement was completed in 1856. The new building was designed by Rawlins Gould, at a cost of £1,500. It was grade II listed in 1954. The church is built of limestone with a slate roof, and is in Early English style. It consists of a nave, a north aisle, a south porch, and a chancel with an organ chamber and a north vestry. At the west end is a gabled bellcote with two lights and a quatrefoil above. Inside is the original organ, a reredos consisting 18th-century paintings on wood depicting subjects from the Bible, and four 17th-century wall tablets memorialising members of the Talbot family.

Population at the time was 62, with occupations including two farmers, one of whom was the Surveyor of Highways. Eddlethorpe was formerly a township in the parish of Westow, in 1866 Eddlethorpe became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Burythorpe.
