Sutterby

Sutterby

Sutterby is a hamlet in Lincolnshire, England not far from the small town of Horncastle in the parish of Spilsby.

The first recorded mention of Sutterby is in the Domesday Book; the "-by" at the end of its name indicates this place may originally have been a Viking settlement (the village is located within the area of the Danelaw).

In 1219 Hugh of Wells, bishop of Lincoln, granted the church at Sutterby to the Benedictine Nuns of the Priory of Chester. It seems that the nuns had lost it, however, by the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The church, dedicated to St John the Baptist, is now under the protection of the Friends of Friendless Churches.

The novella, "John Enderby", by Gilbert Parker has Charles I resting overnight at Sutterby.

Ostracoda have been found in the Sutterby area.
