Marske by Richmond, Yorkshire (North Riding), England

Notes:

The Church is dedicated to St Edmund, who was a Saxon King and Saint pu
t to death by the Danes in AD 870. It is known that the bones of St Cut
hbert rested in Marske for a time during the period when the monks were p
otecting them from the Danes who had sacked the abbey at Lindisfarne i
AD 793. The saint's bones were later put to rest at Chester-le-Street a
d finally in Durham Cathedral.

This seems to point to an earlier church on the site of the present one f
ounded in AD 1090. The north and south doors and the hexagonal pillars a
e from the Norman building. In a recess in the north aisle is a pointe
d stone tracery arch, carved from one block of stone, which may be the E
ast window from this time. There are also theories that either the squa
e stone base of the font or the square stone base of the 1914-1918 War M
emorial is the base of a Norman or earlier cross.

Little except the names of the clergy is known until Matthew Hutton, Ar
chbishop of York, bought the Marske estate for his son Timothy in 1597. T
he Church registers start from this date. From this time the history of t
he Church and village is closely linked with the Hutton family and ther
e is no record of them building a chapel in the Hall. The family produc
ed two Archbishops, two High Sheriffs of Yorkshire and a very famous st
allion called Marske. This was the sire of Eclipse from whom most Briti
sh racehorses are descended including Mill Reef, Nijinsky and Northern D
ancer.

In 1634 following a reprimand from the Bishop-of Chester, Matthew Hutto
the ¬squire paid for repairs to the chancel, paving the floor (which b
een mud-strewn with rushes) and "some seating". His brother Timothy gav
e the font. In 1655 Matthew gave the silver chalice and paten. There is a m
agnificent memorial to him and his wife, also depicting their twelve ch
ildren, in Richmond Parish Church. He was followed in 1666 by his grand
son, John Hutton, who put in the two windows in the south aisle and the s
undial. The second, third and fourth John Huttons are buried under the C
hurch floor and there is a memorial to the fourth John Hutton on the no
th wall of the sanctuary.

It seems that it was not until the time of the fourth John Hutton that a
ything more was done to the Church. Again there was a diocesan reprima
d in 1822, and in 1823 John Hutton rebuilt the chancel and put in the b
ox pews on top of the graves of his father and grandfather. He also add
ed the porch and the crenellation around the roof.
In 1896 the present East window was given in memory of Colonel John Cam
eron who rented the Hall from the Huttons at this period. The Georgian s
ilver candlesticks were given in 1966 in memory of Mrs D'Arcy Sykes who w
as a daughter of Timothy Hutton. These candlesticks are now deposited i
Ripon Cathedral.

The village of Marske in Norman times was a community of foresters and h
untsmen. Subsequently it developed into coal and lead mining, while far
ming became viable much later. Until the 18th century all the cottages w
ere single storey and thatched with heather. The thatched roofs were ve
y steep, sometimes almost touching the ground. The housing was improve
d in the 18th century and stone slates replaced the ling thatch. Becaus
e the stone slate roofs could be made much less steep, it -was possible t
o raise the walls and add another storey to the cottages. Many gable en
ds show evidence of this.

The Rectory was built in 1755 by the ten Rector Richard Horne at a cost o
f £185! It also housed a preparatory school for Richmond Grammar School
. The magnificent stables near the Hall are also of this period.

The obelisk at the high point od Deer Park, south of the village, marks t
he burial place of Matthew Hutton who died in 1813. He requested that h
e be buried in his favourite place overlooking all the Hutton estate.

The ornamental gardens were made in 1836 when the new Downholme Bridge w
as built and gave access to the turnpike road down Swaledale. The Hutto
s gave land to make a road to connect the village with this bridge and t
his cut through their drive and left the lime avenue isolated. They pul
led down the old manorial corn mill by Marske Bridge and made the splen
did gardens at the other side of the road.

The Huttons built Marske Lodge at the beginning of the 20th century and a
t about the same time the family ceased living in Marske. When John Tim
othy D’Arcy Hutton died the inheritance passed to a nephew who sold the w
hole estate in 1960 without even seeing it.

Today the village has no resident squire, parson, doctor or publican bu
t village life remains very strong.
