STUTTON, a parish in the hundred of SAMFORD,
county of SUFFOLK, 6 miles (S. by W.) from Ipswich,
containing 475 inhabitants. The living is a rectory, in
the archdeaconry of Suffolk, and diocese of Norwich,
rated in the king's books at £12. 17. 6., and in the
patronage of the Rev. Thomas Mills. The church is
dedicated to St. Peter. The river Stour separates this
parish from Essex, and, at high tides, is here from two
to three miles broad. The gateway and other remains
of Stutton hall are good specimens of the domestic
style of architecture prevalent in the reign of Elizabeth:
it was formerly the residence of the ancient family of
Jennys, and is now occupied by a tenant.
