John Cutts (died 1646)

Sir John Cutts (c.1581–June 1646) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons variously between 1604 and 1640.

Home in England he is chiefly remembered for razing the villages of Great and Little Childerley to make way for a deer park (which was seen as an "improvement").

[7] Cutts lived at Childerley and died in June 1646 and was buried in the family vault at Swavesey.

[9] After his death in 1646 (buried July 1646) his widow Anne controlled the whole estate until their son John came of age in around 1655.

Charles I spent the night at Childerley on 6–7 June 1647 when he was brought by Cromwell's soldiers after being captured at Holdenby Hall, in Northamptonshire.
