For news of our Richard III weekend in June 2013 look at our Forthcoming Events page!

The recent news of King Richard III's burial finds in Leicester has brought many visitors to Sheriff Hutton Church to view the tomb of Edward of Middleham, Prince of Wales, and son of Richard and Queen Anne Neville.

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 share our work with young people with Sheriff Hutton Methodist Church including Family Services alternating between the churches. Our latest initiative is "Messy Church", shared with other churches in our Benefice and Methodist network.
