Sutton

Sutton lay on the main road from London to Brighton, some twelve miles from the city. The manor formerly belonged to the abbey of Chertsey and after the dissolution of the monasteries it passed into private hands. The Domesday Book mentions two churches here, but by the early nineteenth century only a small fabric of one church remained, dedicated to St Nicholas, at the west end of which was once a wooden tower but which had been rebuilt in brick.
