Greetings from St Helen and the Holy Cross, Sheriff Hutton,
To contact us through this website, email roythompson2@btinternet.com or please use Mail Form at the bottom of the page.
Roy Thompson, Churwarden and member of the Church Buildings Council (formerly Council for the Care of Churches), is available to welcome intested groups and especially school visits.
We are privileged to worship and be responsible for the upkeep of one of the top 1000 parish churches in England, and listed Grade 1 by English Heritage.
The Church of England parish church of Sheriff Hutton lies at the east end of the village, close to the remains of the motte-and-bailey castle built after the Conquest by Aschetel de Bulmer. The Norman church is built of magnesian limestone and comprises the tower, nave and part of the chancel.
Later additions were built in local sandstone as was the Plantagenet Castle associated with Richard III, whose son, Edward of Middleham, was buried in the church and whose effigy is in the North Aisle.
The Vicar, Revd Chris Ellis, is also Vicar of the Benefice of the Forest of Galtres, which includes the parishes of Stillington, Farlington and Marton-on-the Forest and Sutton-on-the-Forest with Huby within the Deanery of Easingwold and the Diocese of York.
GOOD NEWS!! we have now introduced a Family Praise service on the second Sunday at 11am jointly and alternately with the Methodist Church. It's short, snappy and suitable for all young at heart people. This is proving a great success!
