About Us

You and your children will always receive a warm, friendly welcome at All Hallows’ Church which is situated about 8 miles north of York on the road to Helmsley and is open every day during daylight hours.  Please drop in when you are passing or better still come to one of our services.

Our parish has c2000 inhabitants in the villages of Sutton and its neighbour Huby. The church, which dates from the 12th century but much modified and enlarged by the Victorians and where Lawrence Sterne of Tristram Shandy fame was once the vicar, boasts several panels of medieval glazing and a collection of striking monuments to the Harland family, former residents of Sutton Park opposite the church.

We form with 4 other churches the Benefice of the Forest of Galtres, named after a former hunting ground of Henry the Eigthth.  We are at present in vacancy but with the aid of visiting clergy and our benefice lay readers Harold Mytum and Margaret Price, we are nevertheless able to ensure that we have at least two services every month. Do not hesitate to contact on the benefice administrator's email [email protected] should you wish more information on our activities.

We very much look forward to seeing at the church in the future.
