New Earswick

New Earswick is a village in the unitary authority of City of York in the north of England, near the River Foss, north of York, Yorkshire and east of Haxby.

In 1901, the philanthropist Joseph Rowntree[?] bought 150 acres of agricultural land and built workers cottages, 12 per acre, along with a Folk Hall, a school, and a surgery. The cottages are reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts movement style, and they are now in the care of the Joseph Rowntree Memorial Trust[?]. The village became a Conservation Area in 1991.
