About

New Earswick is a village situated to the north of York, originally founded in the early 20th century as a model community by the Joseph Rowntree Village Trust. The area is characterised by its planned layout of tree-lined streets and green spaces, with a mix of housing styles from the original cottage homes to more recent developments. It functions as a self-contained residential settlement with its own local facilities and community institutions.

The village is centred around the Folk Hall, a community centre that hosts various social activities and events. A network of footpaths connects the residential areas to the local primary school, sports fields, and the nearby River Foss. The area maintains a distinct identity separate from the city, with a strong emphasis on community and social housing principles as part of its founding ethos.
