Sometimes called Lutton-Bourne, Lutton is a small village and civil parish located about 4 miles (6.4 km) south east of the town of Holbeach, Lincolnshire, England. The village of Lutton has also been known by the alternative name of Sutton St Nicholas.[1] The civil parish comprises the village of Lutton, with Lutton Marsh to the north east and Lutton Garnsgate to the south west.[2]
Luctone was recorded in Domesday Book of 1086 as having 16 households, 60 acres of meadow and one fishery. [3] By the 8th Century, Lutton had become an established Anglo-Saxon settlement by the sea. Until the Dissolution of the Monasteries the Church belonged to the estates of the Cluniacs of Castle Acre Priory, Norfolk. For many centuries the village was part of the estates of the Duchy of Lancaster.[4]
The present church of Saint Nicholas is a grade I listed building dating almost entirely from the 16th century, and built of red brick.[5][6]
The former Cock and Magpie public house dates from the late 18th century and is grade II listed and now a private cottage.[7]
Garnsgate Hall is an early 18th century red brick grade II* listed building.[8] It was built by the Delamore family around 1685 but was heavily remodelled in the early part of the 18th century (if not completely rebuilt) hence its predominantly Queen Anne appearance. The family sold the house in 1749 and the Allenby family then owned the Hall for over 150 years. Some famous characters in history have links with the Hall: a descendant of Oliver Cromwell and Viscount Edmund Allenby's father and stepbrother in turn owned the Hall so presumably Viscount Allenby must have stayed there at some point (the Hall passed to Viscount Allenby's stepbrother from his father's first marriage). Now it is being run as a small Bed and Breakfast and Farm Shop by the present owners[9]. Garnsgate Hall is in Lutton Garnsgate across the A17 from Long Sutton.
Sneaths Mill, sometimes called Lutton Gowt Mill, is a red brick four storey octagonal windmill. It has a datestone of 1779, but this is the date that an older wooden smock mill was encased in brick. It is grade II listed although it ceased working after a storm in the 1930s.[10][11]
