Sutterby is a tiny hamlet in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire, to the north of two villages barely bigger themselves, Langton and Aswardby, nine miles south-east of Louth and eight miles east of Horncastle.
The name of Sutterby is from the Old Norse language. The first recorded mention of Sutterby is in the Domesday Book.
In 1219 Hugh of Wells, Bishop of Lincoln, granted the church at Sutterby to the Benedictine nuns of the Priory of Chester. It seems that the estate passed out of their hands during the Middle Ages, as it was not an estate caught in the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
The Church of John the Baptist, is a Grade II listed building under the protection of the Friends of Friendless Churches.[1][2][3]
