Sutterby

Sutterby is a hamlet in the civil parish of Langton by Spilsby, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated south-east from Louth and east from Horncastle. In 1931 the parish had a population of 24. On 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished and merged with Langton by Spilsby.
The first recorded mention of Sutterby is in the Domesday Book; the "-by" at the end of its name indicates this place may originally have been a Viking settlement.
In 1219 Hugh of Wells, bishop of Lincoln, granted the church at Sutterby to the Benedictine Nuns of the Abbeys and [priories in England#Cheshire|Priory of Chester]. It seems that the nuns had lost it, however, by the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The St [John the Baptist's Church, Sutterby|Church of John the Baptist], is a Grade II listed building under the protection of the Friends of Friendless Churches.
