Sutton

 

This parish has one of the smallest populations in the District, although at the time of the Domesday Book it had a very flourishing village with its own market and fair. It extends between the River Roach and the adjoining Borough of Southend-on-Sea, and includes the Hamlet of Shopland.

 

Bordered by busy industrial estates on its western and southern borders, Sutton retains rural beauty, with large expanses of fine quality farmland.

 

The church is of Norman origin and boasts a medieval coffin lid and brass of 1371 from the demolished ancient church at Shopland. The brass depicts Sir Thomas Stapel, Sergeant at Arms to Edward III, in armour such as he would have worn at the Battle of Crecy.
