The Church of St Peter’s is situated at Hutton and has Norman fragment in the South doorway as well as early English arcades, a perpendicular tower and Victorian windows. There are six church bells in all which ring out loud and crystal clear. They attract campanologists from far and wide who come to "ring the changes".
The Old Vicarage next to the Church was built in 1874 and is a handsome brick building in the Gothic style which is now privately owned after a new vicarage was built in 1967 within its grounds.
The three faces of the church clock are now fully restored and we are grateful to the Parish Council, The All Churches Trust and the Yorkshire Historic Churches Trust for grants towards this work, together with kind donations from individual people. Many thanks to all.
The Churchyard gained a Yorkshire Rose Award in Summer 2005 as being the best maintained in the whole of Yorkshire. Only two places of worship in the county received this accolade, which was awarded at the discretion of the Judges.
Congratulations to the hard-

The Methodist Church
Hutton Cranswick Methodist Church is situated at the top of Main Street near to the Beverley Road. There is ample parking adjacent to the church with a ramp to the side of the building, and a modern sound system which is used for all services.
You are most welcome to join us at 10:30am each Sunday.
We are a friendly church with a congregation of around 35 people most Sundays. Our services are Bible based, and we meet together to celebrate God’s love and forgiveness for us all. We have a mixture of traditional hymns; modern choruses and the Pastor plays the guitar when leading services. We have an able group of Methodist local preachers that bring God’s word when the Pastor is at another Chapel.
We have a prayer meeting on a Monday, Bible studies on a Tuesday. Friday Friends meet for lunch during the winter months, which is open to all. There is an art group which meet every 2 weeks on a Saturday, a choir, and various uniformed organisations who use the building during the week. The Men’s group meets monthly for breakfast at the local Garden Centre on the first Saturday of the month at 09:30. Just turn up if you want to join us.
The Chapel was built in 1861. It has a beautiful bright airy worship space with comfortable chairs to sit on! With the balcony seating it can accommodate 200 people. To the rear there is a large hall, toilets, and a good-sized kitchen.
We are currently fund raising to improve the insulation and heating in the Church and the back hall following net zero principles. We have just fitted double glazed windows in the hall and are now planning to have solar panels on the roof. We have lots of special events planned and would be pleased to welcome you to any of them.
Please contact the Pastor regarding Christenings, Weddings, Funerals or for further information.
