SUTTON, a parish in the second division of the hundred of WALLINGTON, county of SURREY, 2 miles (E. N. E.) from Ewell, containing 911 inhabitants. The living is a rectory, in the archdeaconry of Surrey, and diocese of Winchester, rated in the king's books at £16. 18. 4., and in the patronage of the Rev. Thomas Hatch. The church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, is partly in the decorated style of English architecture; it had formerly a wooden tower, which has been replaced by one of brick, and contains, among other handsome monuments, chiefly of the Talbots, one to the memory of Lady Dorothy Brownlow. In Domesday-book two churches are mentioned to have existed in this place. There is a place of worship for Independents. The Wey and Arun canal passes through the parish. Nine poor children are educated for £6 per annum, the gift of William Beck, in 1789; and the interest of a bequest of £100 by Susannah Bentley, in 1823, is paid in aid of the National school, which is further supported by voluntary contributions. There are also two Sunday schools, endowed by Mrs. Lucy Manners, with £700 three per cent, consols. Mary Gibson left £ 500 three per cent, annuities, directing the interest to be distributed annually in the following manner; £ 5 to the rector, £5 to the poor, £2 each to the two churchwardens, and £ 1 to the parish clerk, provided that, on the 12th of August, the mausoleum of her family be opened and inspected by them, and that they then repair to the church, to hear a sermon preached by the rector. There is a large chalk pit in the parish, in which a variety of curious fossils has been found.
