History
The village's history can be traced back to the Domesday Book, some of which can be found in A Tale of Two Villages, Hutton and Cranswick, a book about the village's history written in 1980 by Herbert Johnson and updated in 2000 by local author Les Wilkie. The oldest feature in the village is the remnant of a 13th century monastic moat beside Sheepman Lane, marking the site of a former Cistercian Grange belonging to Meaux Abbey (near Beverley).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“America is, therefore the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World’s history shall reveal itself. It is a land of desire for all those who are weary of the historical lumber-room of Old Europe.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.”
—Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
