Lutton (sometimes 'Lutton-Bourne') is a village in Holland, the south-eastern part of Lincolnshire. It is about four miles north-east of the town of Holbeach.
The village has been known by the alternative name of Sutton St Nicholas.[1]
The wider civil parish comprises the village of Lutton, with Lutton Marsh to the north-east and Lutton Garnsgate to the south-west. The population of the parish at the 2011 census was recorded at 1,261.
The parish church, St Nicholas, dates almost entirely from the 16th century, and built of red brick. It is a Grade I listed building.[2][3]
History
Lutton is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Luctone", with 16 households, 60 acres of meadow and one fishery.[4] By the 8th century Lutton had become an established Anglo-Saxon settlement by the sea.
Until the Dissolution of the Monasteries the Church belonged to the estates of the Cluniacs of Castle Acre Priory in Norfolk. For many centuries the village was part of the estates of the Duchy of Lancaster.[5]
The former Cock and Magpie public house dates from the late 18th century, is Grade II listed, and is now a private cottage.[6]
Garnsgate Hall is an early 18th-century red-brick Grade II* listed building.[7] It was built by the Delamore family about 1685 but was heavily remodelled, or completely rebuilt, in the early part of the 18th century in Queen Anne style. The family sold the house in 1749, after which the Allenby family owned the Hall for over 150 years. Currently it is run as a bed and breakfast and farm shop.[8] The Hall is in the hamlet of Lutton Garnsgate, across the A17 from Long Sutton.
Lutton has a primary school called Lutton St Nicholas Primary School.
Sneaths Mill, sometimes called Lutton Gowt Mill, is a red-brick four storey octagonal windmill. It has a datestone of 1779, but this is the date that an older wooden smock mill was encased in brick. It is Grade II listed although it ceased working after a storm in the 1930s.[9][10]
