Hutton Buscel

History

Hutton-Buscel derives its name from it having been the "High town of the Buscel or Bushel family" whose ancestors arrived following the Norman conquest.

St Matthew's Church, Hutton Buscel is a Grade I listed building. It was built in the 12th century with additions in the 13th and 15th centuries and it underwent restoration by William Butterfield in 1855. Among the monuments in the church is one dedicated to Richard Osbaldeston, Bishop of London, who died in 1764.

Edward Baines, in his 1823 directory, lists the village as Hutton Bushel and gives the population as 419.
