Sutterton is a village and rural parish in Lincolnshire.[1] It won a Best Kept Village award in 2005.
Sutterton lies approximately seven miles south-south-west of Boston, near the junction of the A16 and A17, and on the B1397 (formerly A16). To the north is Kirton. The Spalding bypass opened as the Spalding-Sutterton Improvement in 1995.
The village is one of eighteen parishes which, together with Boston, form the Lincolnshire Borough of Boston. Local governance has been arranged as such since the reorganization of 1 April 1974, resulting from the Local Government Act 1972. The parish forms part of the Five Villages[clarification needed] electoral ward. Sutterton parish church is dedicated to St Mary the Blessed Virgin.[2]
Close to the east is Algarkirk with which Sutterton shares Sutterton Fourfields Primary School.[3] Before 1970, the two villages also shared the Algarkirk and Sutterton railway station,[4] on the Spalding to Boston line, now next to the A16.

[edit] History
Hitherto, the parish had formed part of Boston Rural District, in Parts of Holland. Holland was one of the three divisions of the traditional County of Lincolnshire. Since the Local Government Act of 1888 Holland had been, in most respects, a county in itself.
[edit] Local business
Sutterton has a local general store and post office, two public houses, a large caravan and camping accessory retailer, a chilled-food distribution company and a canine rescue centre.
