Sandhutton - Izeria

Sandhutton is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It lies about 3 miles (5 km) west of Thirsk on the A167. It has been referred to as Hutton, Hutton (Sand), 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. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Hambleton, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. 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. 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. Sandhutton is the location of Breckenbrough School, an independent special school.

St Lawrence's Church, Carlton Miniott

St Lawrence's Church is an Anglican church in Carlton Miniott, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The first building on the site was a chapel of ease to St Mary's Church, Thirsk, in existence by 1621. In 1848 it was described simply as "small". The building was rebuilt between 1895 and 1896 by C. Hodgson Fowler, incorporating some decorated wood from the old church. The church has remained essentially unaltered since, and it was Grade II listed in 2005. The church is built of red brick with stone dressings and a red tile roof. It consists of a nave, a south porch, and a chancel with a north vestry. On the junction of the nave and the chancel is a spirelet with a wooden bellcote and a pyramidal slate roof. The porch has a stone front, and buttresses rising to an apex with a crucifix, and it contains a doorway with a four-centred arch. The east window of the church has stained glass depicting the crucifixion of Jesus and a war memorial. Hodgson Fowler's decorative scheme survives largely intact, including the painted barrel-vaulted ceiling, wooden panelling on the lower part of the walls, reredos, and pews. The pulpit is from the previous church, as are various decorated pieces of wood on display.
