History
editSutton was once home to the Turbervill family, and Edward Turbervill once had his seat at Sutton.[1] A Bronze Age barrow has been unearthed in Sutton.[2][3] In 1940, Sir Cyril Fox was said to have found "a primary burial of a typical Beaker man, crouched in a large pit cut into the subsoil, with a Beaker of debased 'B1' type and barbed and tanged flint arrow-heads."[4]
Notable landmarks

A 5 bedroom mansion in Sutton named The Granary was valued at £730,000 as of August 2011, making it amongst the most expensive properties in the county.[6]
