King's Sutton

King's Sutton

King's Sutton is a village and civil parish in the west of Northamptonshire in England near to the River Cherwell that forms the boundary thereabouts with the county of Oxfordshire.

King's Sutton lies to the southeast of Banbury. It enjoys the unusual village luxury of a railway station with direct links to London, Birmingham and Oxford. The village also has three pubs, including the famed 'Three Tuns'. The village holds an annual classical music festival during the summer months that draws performers from around the world. There is also an annual Literary Festival usually held in March. The annual village party, open to all villagers, is held in the grounds of a large private residence near the train station. [http://www.kingssutton.northants.sch.uk King's Sutton Primary School] is considered to be one of the best of its size in the UK.

Many inhabitants of the village are concerned that the heritage of the village will be lost to future generations and so a Heritage Trust Fund Organisation has been formed. It has started to gather information about the history of the buildings, people and traditions of the village and these will be presented on the [http://www.kingssutton.net Village Website] .

Under the heading of 'Village Tour' the website gives details of the Church of St Peter and St Paul. Like many churches, this has evolved over the centuries. The oldest part is the font, which is associated with the Baptism of St Rumbold in 662AD. King's Sutton was said to be the birth and death place of St Rumwold, an infant who allegedly professed his faith continuously during his short three-day life.

A huge amount of other historical data is available about the village and this is currently being presented on the village website. As sections are verified and collated properly they then appear under the heading of 'Historical Archive' as well as various sub-sections relating to different aspects of our history.

Within the civil parish of King's Sutton are the hamlets of Astrop, immediately to the east of the main village and Upper Astrop about a mile to the north-east.
