Hutton is a village and civil parish in Lancashire, England. It is located 3 miles (4.8 km) south west of Preston, in the South Ribble borough and parliamentary constituency. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 2,277.
The village's name was variously recorded as Hoton in 1201, Hutton and Hooton in the 16th century. After the Norman Conquest Hutton was part of the Penwortham fee acquired by Roger son of Orm, (Roger de Hoton). Helias, (Ellis) the son of Roger de Hoton granted three carucates of land in "Hottun," in "Leylondeschire," without any reservation to Cockersand Abbey. He also made grants to Burscough Priory and Penwortham Priory. Lytham Priory had lands in the township. In about 1200 there was a chapel at a place called Ulvedene but nothing is known of its later history. Cockersand records from 1450 to 1537 show that the manor, its mills and a large part of the land were let to tenants. After the Dissolution in 1546 the manor was granted to Lawrence Rawstorne for £560 and descended through that family until the 20th century.
In the Hearth tax of 1666 there were 58 hearths to be taxed, the three largest houses had three hearths each. Hutton Hall was built in the 17th century and a free grammar school was built here.
The parish was part of Preston Rural District throughout its existence from 1894 to 1974. In 1974 the parish became part of South Ribble.
The village is bypassed by the A59 Preston to Liverpool road, which gives the village good connections with Preston and Southport. The village once had a railway station on the Southport to Preston line, which shut in the 1960s. This station was known as New Longton and Hutton railway station. The station was situated in New Longton but served Hutton.
