Sutton, Suffolk
Sutton is a village and a civil parish on the B1083 road, in the East Suffolk district, in the county of Suffolk, England. Sutton has a pub, a mobile post office and a place of worship. There is also the hamlet of Sutton Street and the Sutton Common estate nearby.
Sutton in Old English means "Southern Farm"; sut meaning "south" and ton meaning "farmstead" or "settlement." John Marius Wilson described Sutton in the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1868) as
The Domesday Book is the oldest public record of the village; the book features information on Sutton as early as 1086. In that year there were 77 families living in Sutton and the Lord of Sutton was Robert Malet.
According to the 1831 Enumeration, there were 680 people living in Sutton. One hundred of the 126 families in Sutton at the time were said to be "... chiefly employed in Agriculture. All parishes within the hundred of Wilford, including Sutton, according to this information had families working primarily in agriculture. Arthur Young toured Suffolk in 1784 and wrote three accounts of farmers he was introduced to in Sutton of which: "Mr. William Waller, of Sutton, one of the greatest farmers in the neighbourhood, has 2700 acres, ploughs 1000, and has above 1000 sheep." Other statistics taken from the 1831 Census were Social status. These statistics state that over three-quarters of the people living in Sutton were labourers and servants. Meanwhile, only a very small fraction of the population made up the middling sorts, that is owners of small farms. These statistics are based upon the contemporary ideas of social status not as people would judge them today.
All Saints' Church was built in 1555 and was largely reconstructed by the Victorians. This medieval church has a font that dates back before the Reformation, which is strange, as the Church now belongs to the Church of England. The font is the only remnants of a pre-Reformation church, as it burnt down in the 17th century. Notable people buried in the churchyard include:
There is also a small Baptist church, called the Chapel, located on Main Road, which was founded in 1813.
In 1954 a Memorial Hall was built to commemorate all the soldiers from Sutton who fought in the Second World War. The hall was built by local people; both men and women participated in plastering the walls, donating electric heaters and buying curtains. The opening ceremony was held on 30 October 1958.
An electoral ward in the same name exists. This ward includes Bromeswell and had a total population of 3,014 at the 2011 Census.
