Ryedale FolkMuseum

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.
