Nutholme

Nutholme is a house built in the mid-18th century and remodelled in 1818. It has been reroofed and altered at a later date. The building is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble, which has been whitewashed, and features a pantile roof with brick stacks.

It is two storeys high with a four-window front. There is a 19th-century boarded door beneath a timber lintel located to the right of the centre. To the right of the door, there is a three-light, 18-pane horizontal-sliding sash window, and a small four-pane fixed-light fire window at the far right. To the left of the door, there is a four-pane sash window, and a three-light, 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash window at the far left. On the first floor, there are two two-light, 12-pane horizontal-sliding sashes to the left, a four-pane sash window in the centre, and a small four-pane sash window to the right of the door. The gable to the right is coped, and there are stacks left-of-centre and centre-left on the right end.

At the rear, there is a battened plank door and a four-pane fixed light beneath a continuous timber lintel to the left, with a small four-pane sash window above it. A datestone over the door features an oval centre panel inscribed with "IW" 1818, commemorating John Wood, who married Ann Foxton that year. Of the two stable doors at the right end, one remains while the other has been replaced by a 20th-century boarded door within the original surround, both featuring painted timber lintels. The right return has a blocked lifting door with a roughly-tooled sill and lintel in the gable end.

Nutholme is historically significant as the birthplace of William Scoresby in 1760, a renowned whaling captain from Whitby. His son gained fame as an Arctic explorer and was also a scientist, clergyman, and social reformer.
