[2] St. Michael's Rectory, situated on the other side of the Midland Main Line, is now used by the University of Nottingham, who have a large campus just north of the village, to house postgraduate students.

Related to the situation of the two original parishes, Sutton and Bonington are separate manors, named after their churches — St. Anne and St. Michael respectively.

The current priest in charge (for both churches in Sutton Bonington) is Glenn Martin, who is also the priest in charge of the neighbouring parish of Normanton on Soar (with its Grade I Church of St. James).

Two more bells were added in 1849/50 and a sixth bell in 1977 purchased for the sum of £320 from St Andrew’s Church at Watton at Stone in Hertfordshire[3] to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II.

[4] The bells are rung for Sunday morning services and at fortnightly practice sessions.
