Sutton is a small village and civil parish in the Peterborough district, in the north-west of Cambridgeshire, England.

For electoral purposes it forms part of Glinton and Wittering ward in North West Cambridgeshire constituency.

Dating back to 972–992, the area of Peterborough was described as a "woody swamp" but was cleared to a certain degree when Abbot Adulf built manor houses and granges.

The majority of the church was rebuilt in 1867–8, but the arch supports have survived from the original construction in the 12th/13th century.

[4] A grant of £37,300 was given to complete work on the church by a company called WREN in order for it to become a community hub for locals.

[5] The historical layout of the village is a simple rectangle of streets engulfing a green where cattle would be, known as a Saxon nucleated settlement (or a Nucleated village), with the grange and chapel located in one corner of the rectangle.

With the village being in close proximity to the River Nene, there was once a ford going over to Stibbington, but this was eventually destroyed by dredging after a long period of not being used.

[7]As mentioned previously, the total population of Sutton is at 196 according to the Office for National Statistics for 2011 Census.

[13] Having such a large proportion of males involved in agriculture could become a problem at this time due to the agricultural depression (Long Depression) which could be a contributor to the fall in population of Sutton in the early 20th century (shown in population graph in the demographics section).

This is due to the fact in the Victorian Era, women's work was most likely based around home and family and was inaccurately recorded.

The graph shows that the 2 highest occupations in the 2011 census were retail trade and education where precisely 13 economically active residents worked.

[15] In 2014, the area of Peterborough has an unemployment rate of 6.9% of the working population where 79.4% are recorded as economically active.

According to the 2011 Census, 94 residents of the total 138 from the working population are seen to be economically active, whereas the remaining 44 are inactive due to a number of situations such as; retired, sick or disabled or looking after family.
