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).
