Pound

The Pound in Hutton is a village animal pound built in 1872 using local rubble stone. It has a roughly diamond-shaped plan with a single entrance located on the south side. The walls stand about 1.8 meters high and are constructed of random rubble stone. The north and east walls feature decorative coping known locally as "cock and hen," while two sides are topped with concrete coping. The entrance in the south wall is fitted with a 20th-century timber gate.

Historical records show that this pound replaced an earlier animal pound located elsewhere in the village. It is depicted on the 1885 Ordnance Survey map and all subsequent editions as a diamond-shaped enclosure on the north side of Church Lane.

The Pound is designated at Grade II for being a well-preserved example of a traditional vernacular pound, which is a relatively rare survival in the UK. It serves as an interesting reminder of the management of stray livestock and holds group value with the nearby Church of St Mary the Virgin, which is listed at Grade II*.
