In the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870–72) John Marius Wilson described Hutton Bonville:

HUTTON-BONVILLE, a chapelry in Birkby parish, N. R. Yorkshire; on the river Wiske and the Northeastern railway, 3 miles SSE of Cowton r. station, and 4 NNW of Northallerton. It contains the village of Lovesome-Hill, and its post town is Northallerton. Acres, 1, 080. Rea property, £1, 776. Pop., 129. Houses, 22. Hutton-Bonville Hall is a chief residence. The place is a meet for the Bedale hounds. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of York. Value, £53. Patron, Mrs. M. A. Pierse. The church is good, and has a bellturret.[2]

When Nikolaus Pevsner visited the hamlet in the early 1960s, to write the entry for his Yorkshire: The North Riding volume of the Buildings of England, he described the estate church of St Lawrence as "away from anywhere except the decaying Hall".[3] The Hall was demolished in the 1960s, although the gate piers at the start of the drive remain and are a Grade II listed structure.[4] St Lawrence's was declared redundant in 2007. It is now in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches.[5]
