Sutterton is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Boston in Lincolnshire, England, approximately 6 miles (10 km) south-west of Boston. The population of the parish at the 2021 census was 1,769,[1][failed verification] up from 1,585 in 2011.[2]
Sutterton parish church is dedicated to St Mary the Blessed Virgin.[3] The village has a post office and general store, one public house and restaurant, a fish-and-chip shop, a garden centre, a veterinary practice, a doctors' practice and a village hall used in conjunction with the primary school. Close to the east is Algarkirk, with which Sutterton shares Sutterton Fourfields Primary School.[4]
Governance
[edit | edit source]The village is one of eighteen parishes which forms part of the Borough of Boston. The parish forms part of the 'Five Villages'[clarification needed] electoral ward.
Before local government reorganisation in 1974, the parish was part of the Boston Rural District in the Parts of Holland division of Lincolnshire.
Transport
[edit | edit source]Sutterton is near the junction of the A16 and A17 roads and on the B1397. The Spalding bypass opened as the 'Spalding-Sutterton Improvement' in 1995.
The contract was given to May Gurney for £4,402,863 in June 1993 for 3 miles.[5][6] Work started in July 1993. The bypass was opened on Friday 30 June 1995 by Lawrie Haynes, chief of the Highways Agency.[7][8]
Until its closure in 1961, the village was served by Algarkirk and Sutterton railway station[9] on the Spalding to Boston line.
