Sutton-on-Sea is a small coastal village in Lincolnshire, at the junction of the A52 and A1111 roads, 6 miles northeast of Alford and 2 miles south from Mablethorpe.
Village facilities include a post office, public houses, a general store and a hotel, and a paddling pool on the sea front.
The parish church is St Clement. It is a Grade II listed building and was built in 1818-19 on a new site after the previous church was destroyed by the sea.[1]
History
At very low tides it is possible to view the remains of an ancient submerged forest on the beaches of Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea.[2]
The Alford and Sutton Tramway ran from Alford town to Sutton-on-Sea on rails set into the road. It opened in 1884 and closed 5 years later.[3][4]
Sutton-on-Sea railway station opened as part of the Sutton and Willoughby Railway. It closed on 5 October 1970 by which time it was owned by British Rail.[5]
In 1897 the village was the subject of a plan by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway to build a port and harbour at the terminus of its East-West line to Warrington on the Manchester Ship Canal.[6] However, by the time the line reached Lincoln the money had run out and Lincoln remained its terminus.[6]
