Sutton-on-Trent is a large village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire, situated on the Great North Road, and on the west bank of the River Trent.

[4] Sir Godfrey Hounsfield was born in Sutton-on-Trent on 28 August 1919, he went on to share the 1979 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Allan MacLeod Cormack for his part in developing the diagnostic technique of X-ray computed tomography (CT).

Dredging of the river has revealed fossilized mammoth's teeth and tusks, Roman and Anglo Saxon pottery.

[8] In May 1686 the manor and lordship of Sutton-on-Trent were sold to Richard Levett, later Lord Mayor of London, and his wife Mary.

Nichols wrote an obituary of a Sutton woman in the Baptist Magazine, volume 7, 1815, which provides one of the few accounts of the life of an ordinary Sutton-on-Trent woman that we have and so is worth repeating verbatim: JANE RICHARDSON of Sutton on Trent, near Newark, who died January 23d, 1815, aged 81 years.

She then expressed to me the joy and pleasure it afforded her that the gospel was brought to that wicked village —" Here I have been, like a poor speckled bird, ever since I came to it, shut out from hearing the word, which I had enjoyed in my former situation, though I had then to walk five miles on the Lord's day, and often to wade to the knees in water, but I found the word sweet to my soul, which made amends for all my trouble of getting to the house of God.

how I have lamented the loss of those means of grace; but I hope that Lord has not left me; and now I pray that the preaching here may be blessed to my soul, and to my neighbours, who are dead in trespasses and sins, though they know it not."

She, however, began to read the New Testament with a spirit of inquiry, and while thus engaged, she found that Jesus was baptized- That he ordered his apostles to baptize as well as preach, and that this was to be extended to by all succeeding ministers, to the end of the world.

"—' Well, neighbour, but if Jesus Christ has commanded us to follow his example, saying, thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness," as you see it is here in the third chapter of Matthew, and the fifteenth verse —I think we ought.

This she did in the spirit of love to her Lord and Saviour without delay—On the 7th of April, 1811, the day appointed for her to relate her Christian experience to the church, at Collingham, previous to her being baptized, she rose early in the morning to walk thither, a distance of three miles.

Her aged husband offered to go with her, but she replied, you need not do that, the Lord will go with me; accordingly she tied a small bundle of cloths to her side, took her two sticks, and arrived by eight o'clock.

She afterwards met with persecution from the ungodly around her, but in the general, she was carried above it, rejoicing that she was accounted worthy to Suffer shame for Christ's sake.

Her attendance on the means of grace was uniform and serious; she appeared to find the word of God and eat it, and it was the joy and rejoicing of her soul.

When certain professors tried to draw her aside, and poison her mind, she would either turn a deaf ear, or reply, "O let us be thankful for the gospel which God has sent among an unworthy people."

[13][14] The village has one pub, The Lord Nelson on Main Street, which is independently owned and operated by a local family.

The small village hall on the Crow Park estate (Snell Road) has a pop-up Post Office on limited days and times.

Normally the event consists of classic cars, a steam rally, morris dancing, dog agility, music by local bands and artists, food and drink.
