Hutton Sessay is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. At the 2011 Census the population of the civil parish was less than 100. Details are now included in the civil parish of Sessay. The village is situated just west of the A19 between Thirsk and Easingwold.

History

Though the village is not mentioned specifically in the Domesday Book, it is thought that some of the lands would have been split between the manors of Sessay and Birdforth and followed the inheritance of those places thereafter.[1] By the end of the 19th century, the village lands were owned by Viscount Downe.[2]

The village used to have both Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist Chapels.[1][2]

Governance

The village is within the Thirsk and Malton UK Parliament constituency. It lies within the Topcliffe ward of Hambleton District Council and Sowerby electoral division of North Yorkshire County Council.[3]
