Husthwaite is an ancient settlement, one of the oldest buildings being St. Nicholas’ Parish Church dating from the twelfth century, which, with the Village Green, forms the centre of the village.
The village is a Designated Conservation Area and partly lies within the Hambleton Hills Protected Landscape (formerly AONB). It is also a gateway to the North York Moors National Park.
Our village is a thriving local community with a wide range of activities. Many of these take place in our local Village Hall which has become a focal point of entertainment ranging from dramatic productions and talks to Scottish country dancing which culminates in a Burns Night Celebration every year.
Beware of Christmas Scams
|
Village Hall Wednesday 15 January 2-4pm and Saturday 18 January 10-12noon. We regret that we had to cancel our ‘cake and consult’ event planned for 11 December – because our planning consultants, AECOM, were still working on the first draft of the Husthwaite ‘design codes’. As these are a key part of the new neighbourhood plan, we thought it best to wait until we have these. We also thought that putting on the event (twice) in mid January – rather than two weeks before Christmas – might enable more people to attend. In January, we will share the Design Codes, our draft vision statement and key objectives and some of the key evidence that will support the new plan which we hope to have ready for consultation in early Spring 2025. In the meantime, thanks to everyone who has inputted into this project this year. A reminder that any queries on the new neighbourhood plan should be sent to Sarah (Aspinall) via husthwaitepc@hotmail.co.uk. |
