Abstract: |
The available archaeological, historical and cartographic evidence suggested that there was a settlement at Sutton probably from the late Saxon period. There was little prehistoric settlement evidence, except for stray finds, though Middle to Late Bronze Age material had come from the northern end of St. Nicholas's Way. There was no evidence to suggest where the late Saxon settlement was located, but it may well have been around the area of the present church. This was based on the assumption that the Saxon church was in the area of the present church. Sutton was something of a backwater through most of the medieval period, being away from the main highways between London and the surrounding towns. Nevertheless the settlement grew from the medieval period until it was a reasonable sized settlement in the post-medieval period. From the Victorian period, Sutton became a popular village for commuters away from, but close to, London, particularly with the coming of the railways. Based on this information it was recommended that an archaeological evaluation take place before development begins. [Au(abr)] |
