Surveyed
Ryedale Folk Museum grew from artefacts gathered from the 1950s by local historian Wilfred Crosland and curator Bertram Frank, opening its first proper season in March 1964 before becoming a registered charitable trust in 1966. The site in Hutton-le-Hole now covers around twenty relocated and reconstructed historic buildings, including a medieval longhouse and an Elizabethan manor house, set out to show rural life in the Ryedale area across several centuries, and remains independent with no regular public subsidy.
